To the Family of William 'Bill' Hudgens:
What a legacy gained I have in this friend. I am honored to esteem this gentleman as one of my life's pillars of men who, when there name is mentioned; the first thought is an awesome friend. I recently learned of his transition and like Inhave told him before he retired, I revere him as one of several men of valor in my life whose life's lessons at work extended into my personal life. May God's peace continue to bless you during and post bereavement knowing that this is not a loss but an invaluable gain of the legacy of William 'Bill' Hudgens.

Bill was such a kind, sweet, and loving Sunday School teacher. He always had a huge smile every Sunday and was such a blessing to everyone around him! He was definitely one of the highlights for me when serving in preschool. I was always thankful to see Bill and Margaret at church with those precious preschoolers. They poured out the love on those little children! Ill be praying for your sweet family during this time. ❤❤
