It was my good fortune to have been stationed with CAPT Hudson when I first entered the Navy. In addition to being a happy and fun gentleman, he always gave thoughtful advice. While I hadn't seen him in 25 or so years, I have often related to others some of his great advice to me. Advice he needn't have given, but was kind enough to do so. Thank you, Captain, and bless your family. Rest in peace, shipmate.

Captain Hudson was a wonderful man. He treated us as his own sons and helped us try and find our paths for the future , Not to mention he bailed us out of a lot of situations. I haven't seen him in roughly 30 years, but I often thought about him.
Bless him and his family and I thank God we were able to speak with him a few weeks ago. Mike Fleming
Our paths crossed briefly during our concurrent assignments to Navy Dental Clinic Orlando. He truly embodied that descriptive phrase " an officer and a gentleman". Thank you for your service and friendship. Rest in peace, shipmate.

I haven't seen Raymond since high school, but I remember him as being a very happy young man. Sorry I didn't get to visit him while we were neighbors in Florida. Blessings to his wife, children, and grandchildren. Tom Feamster, a classmate.
Gloria and Ray lived across the street from us when they were stationed in Charleston, SC. They were wonderful neighbors and we are so glad that our friendship has continued all these years. Our love and sympathy to Gloria, Kim, David, and Joan.
