"A laid-back country boy" for whom the simple things in life were the best, Mr. Hudson "touched many hearts in a special way with his charisma, his humor, and his smile," the family tribute said.

He enjoyed watching football, baseball, and Western movies, playing the lottery, and spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Mr. Hudson was a member of the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas, where he attended services every Sunday.

Besides his wife, Mr. Hudson is survived by daughters Alverna Wiley, Valerie Davis, Adrienne, and Jennifer Hudson Gordon; sons Kenny, Clifford, Wendell, and Archer; a brother; 10 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews.

A viewing starting at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 19, will be followed by an 11 a.m. Funeral Mass at the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas, 6361 Lancaster Ave. Interment will be in Fernwood Cemetery.
