Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Rest William, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. WWII.
Sorry for the loss of your father. We were Vern’s neighbors on Clay Street from 1995-2000. He used to give us home grown tomatoes every summer. He will be greatly missed. Jeremy, Peggy, Alexis & Matthew Lyman
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your famliy Mrs. Scott. I was extremely sadden to hear the news of your father’s passing and I pray that God may lay a blanket of peace and comfort on you and your family during time of mourning. From talking to Dani I know that it has been a hard time the past week but may you know that all your students have been thinking of you! Once again my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Please accept our sympathy on the loss of your father, and I see where your mother had died previously. We bought your house in the country, now over 30 years ago, and have enjoyed our country life so much. Unfortunately, with some major business reverses, we have not been able to do with it what we’d hoped, but it has been home to our 4 children, 2 of which were born after we moved here. We grew outstanding gardens where the pig pens were! For years it was known as the Hudson place and we would frequently meet people that knew your parents. Gradually a new neighborhood had evolved and we don’t even know most of them. Greenwells and Shasteens are still here, however, and I’m sure you remember them. We also have a Danielle; she was a baby when we moved here. I hope your Dad was in good health after he left the farm, and that he enjoyed his life in the city. Glen and Arla Dell Shore
Your great loss touched me deep in my heart. I offer you my condolences. Mr. Hudson was a nice and friendly men with a strong charakter. And also he fought in the second world war against the germans, he accepted me as person and also as a german. This showed me how open minded this great men was. The year I spend in the US I learned to know him better and better. I will never forget the many times he told me so interesting stories about the war (which for me was fantastic, to hear the other side of history) and the last eastern. Now I feel pretty bad, becaue I promissed him to come back to visit him (and of course Dani) when I saw him the last time. Now its too late. I am very sorry for you, sorry that you lost this so important family member. For Dani : I won’t break my promiss, I will come and visit you in one or two years and he will se that I didn’t break it, because I know that he will foreever look after you from up there. Love Tanja
Janice, John & Danielle, Mr. Hudson was one of my favorite customers and I always enjoyed visiting with him when he would come into the bank. I will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
