Ric was predeceased by his parents, Richard F. Hudson, Sr. and Marie Hodunowa of Peabody, MA. Ric was an avid New England Sports fan cheering on both the Celtics and Patriots. He loved photography and had a special place in his heart for his sister's golden retrievers.

Nephews, Jeffrey (Amanda) Beauchamp, Deerfield, NH, Edward Beauchamp, Northfield, NH and many really great nieces and nephews. Three of which were instrumental in motivating his healing; Charlie, Kyle, Jr. and Aiden. Ric also enjoyed "pushing the envelope" with his companion and partner-in-crime, Karen Cabral, who was a huge advocate in Ric's healthcare.
