Walter Hudson Obituary

Published by Legacy on Dec. 9, 2025.
Walter Charles Hudson, 93, of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2025. Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, on January 13, 1932, Walter was the beloved only child of the late Anna Marie Hudson and Walter Leroy Hudson.

A proud veteran, Walter served in the United States Navy for four years during the Korean War, carrying with him a lifelong sense of dedication, discipline, and honor. He made Delaware his home for more than twenty years, becoming a cherished and active presence in the Rehoboth Beach community.

Walter built a rich and meaningful life grounded in love, generosity, and quiet strength. For 55 years, he shared his life with his devoted partner, Arthur Moskal. In 2022, they joyfully married, celebrating a bond built on deep companionship and devotion. Walter and Arthur remained inseparable until Arthur's passing in May 2025.

Known as a gentle soul with a quick, sharp wit and warm sense of humor, Walter touched countless lives. He served on the Board of the Cape Henlopen Senior Center, always eager to give his time, insight, and capable hands. He enjoyed working with his hands and took pride in every task he undertook.

Walter had an adventurous spirit and a deep love for travel. He found joy in theater, cruises, and visits to St. Augustine, California, New Orleans, and Cape May. Whether near or far, he embraced each experience with curiosity and gratitude.

At home, Walter shared his days with his cherished cat, Rosie. A lifelong lover of cats, he found comfort and companionship in their presence-Rosie especially brought him joy, warmth, and unwavering affection.

Those who knew Walter will remember him as exceptionally giving, generous, and kindhearted. A sweetheart in every sense, he left a lasting impression through his sincerity, humor, and gentle strength. His legacy is one of love, service, and the many friendships he nurtured with care.
