A mentor, colleague and compassionate confidante, Bill's energy, humor and integrity will live on in every person who knew him. He was an example of how to live a positive life despite whatever challenges were before him. Bill had such love and support from family and friends. His famous stories will live on well into the future. I wish you good barbecue, excellent fishing and an appreciative audience in the hereafter, my Friend.

Vicki and Jim,
Was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. My daughter, Heidi Crouch Little was so fortunate to have been on Bill's OM teams all 4 years at TCR. Heidi loved Bill as a coach and friend to all students. Bill could draw out the best of the kids on his teams and in his classes. My son, Erik Crouch, was in an English class with Bill and appreciated his positive attitudes toward the students. All of our family have such fond memories of Bill and know how much your family will miss him. May God comfort you in this huge loss.

Mr. Hudson was my favorite teacher. The compassion he showed for his students was amazing. He helped me through a really hard time my senior year and I probably would have quit if he had not been my teacher. His love for teaching impacted everyone that met him. You will be missed Mr. Hudson. My condolences to his family and friends.

Mr. Hudson was my 10th grade English Teacher. I fondly recall his responding "wrong Buffalo Breath" with a jovial laugh and a twinkle of his one blue eye, when he would call on a Student who answered a question incorrectly, which included me on more than one occasion!! He made class fun and I always looked forward to his classes. RIP Mr. Hudson. Skip Brewer, TCR Class of '84.
