After working together for many years, I have only fond memories of Bill's ability to get the job done while making it fun for everyone. He was a unique individual and will be missed.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Over the years, in every conversation I’ve had with my Dad - LA Hudson - he would say “well I was talking with Wild Bill and .......”.  because there was always something he wanted to share about his best friend. It wasn’t until I moved in with my Dad and heard their daily conversations for the last 4 years ..that I came to realize how caring, sincere, encouraging and positive Bill was. I’m so grateful for Bill’s friendship to my Dad and to our family. I will greatly miss getting to say hello to him.  He was larger than life in the best ways. The fight he fought and the smile he wore through it are deeply moving and inspiring. He lived up to his nickname. You will be greatly greatly missed Wild Bill!! 

I have been friends with Billy for over 50 years. Such a kind and thoughtful guy . He was a friend who gave and asked nothing in return. We had some good conversations and many laughs. I will always miss him , his smile and his laugh. I’m sure he’s in his favorite recliner. No more pain Rest In Peace my dear friend ❤️

Bill was a dear friend to my brother, LA Hudson.  Ihave heard about Bill for many years, and recently heard about his surgery. I am so very sad about his passing.

Words cannot express the sadness I feel over our loss, but I know Billy left something behind for all of us-his kindness, his giving heart, his way of always being there for everyone whether he knew you or not.  Billy has given us so many memories and those we can never loose and we will always be connected.
When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices.  When you die, you rejoice, and the world cries.

I would love to see their faces when Billy and Michael meet on the other side. 

Prayers to the family and friends.

Billy was one of a kind!   He was giving, helpful & kind.   He would help anyone with anything.   We were  dates to the Junior High School Prom- - we have stayed in touch for over 50 years. I will miss him greatly!  I 
will never forget my friend & buddy - Rest In Peace Billy 🤗
