Journal entry by Joan Hudson —
The most wonderful tribute from our dear friend Warren Johnson.
The Wolf Warrior was called by the Spirit in the Sky yesterday. We will celebrate his presence with us this coming week. Chuck Hudson was a man’s man. His European and Creek ancestry created a tall dark most handsome man. He was a gifted all state quarterback from Abilene with numerous offers for college football. He proved a even more gifted quarterback at life. He had the remarkable ability to communicate with all sorts of people regardless of their social status or fame. His religious faith governed his life. He had a quick wit and glorious laugh. He appreciated everyone young and old for their talents. An excellent story teller he was a marvel to listen to but was equally interested in hearing your story as well. How many times did I see Chuck say or do something and wish I had that skill. For years he taught sex education to the church kids. When he wasn’t doing that he was teaching senior citizens Sunday School classes. The day he got the diagnosis he had renal cancer we were at a mutual friend’s. I remember sitting on the back porch with him and trying my best to disbelieve what he was telling me over a decade ago. I refuse to remember the ailing Chuck now. I remember that tall dark handsome charming guy I knew years ago. See you soon pal. I know you be waiting with anew trivial pursuit game upon our arrival with a good story or two as well.
