In addition to his second wife, Hudson was survived by three daughters and a son-in-law, Nancy and Joe Ed Ketner, Courtney Morley Hudson, and grandsons Max, Alex and Nicholas Hudson, all of Shreveport, and Lucy North Hudson of Pineville; stepchildren, Robert Franks, Jr., and his wife, Vicki, of Shreveport, Susan F. Leake and her husband, Rucker, of St. Francisville in West Feliciana Parish, and Allen C. Franks and his wife, Cathy, of Mena, Arkansas, and their children and grandchildren.
Memorial services were held at the First Presbyterian Church of Shreveport, where Hudson was an active member. He was cremated.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“So he with difficulty and labour hard
Moved on, with difficulty and labour he;
But he once passed, soon after when man fell,
Strange alteration! Sin and Death amain
Following his track, such was the will of Heaven,
Paved after him a broad and beaten way
Over the dark abyss, whose boiling gulf
Tamely endured a bridge of wondrous length
From hell continued reaching th’ utmost orb
Of this frail world;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“The death of Satan was a tragedy
For the imagination.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, one living the others’ death and dying the others’ life.”
—Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)
