Teresa and Mrs. Hudgens- I know you miss him so very much because there is not a day that goes by that I don't miss my Dad. I am just sad that due to my Dad's illness and my Mom's accident, I could not be there for you as much as I wanted to be during his illness. Mr. Hudgens was always a second Dad to me and it was such a blessing to know I had a home at your house as well as mine. I have nothing but great memories of all the horse back rides and trips to the lake. Growing up, they always knew where to find us (my house or yours). Mr. Hudgens has a special place in my heart just as you both know you do. I love you both and am here for you.

When I first met Joe, he was on a mission trip oversees to Romania. His great faith uplifted me and his kind words of encouragement will forever stay with me. When God made a way for me to come to America, Joe and you Nina, took me into your home like a daugther and sent me to College on your own resources. Only the Lord can trully repay you and reward you in heaven for the things you did for me and the way that you changed my life. Today I work as a Registered Nurse because of you. I will miss Joe with all my heart, he had the biggest heart in the world and he truly loved the Lord. With love and appreciation, Cami

So sorry to hear about death of Joe. I'm not sure I know "your" Joe tho. I lived near a Hudgens family & knew a Joe & a Billy when we were kids. I lived @ 2510 Arch LRA & their fam lived on NW corner of 25th (Roosevelt) & Arch. We all went to Rightsell school. Never knew what happened to the Hudgens boys. Only remember the 2 named above. I had thought that Joe was my age (800 but see that was wrong. Maybe it is Billy If all this is incorrect, pls forgive the intrusion on your grief. bill

Hello Nina, I hope you remember me. I just wanted to let you know how very sorry I am to hear about Joe. Even though I have not seen you all in a long time, one of the memories I will always have is the time Joe & Donnie took all us church kids "snipe" hunting at your house. What a joke on us. Joe was a good person and I know he will be dearly missed by all. Please know that you & Theresa are in our prayers. Love Debbie (Helton) Kruk

There were not many people made like Joe and there are very few left. The world as I appreciate it has greatly diminished. If I listen closely maybe I will hear the plaintive notes of his harmonica sweeten the angel choir.

Joe will long be remembered by the staff and former students of the Civilian Student Training Program for his inspirational ministry with his music. He deeply touched and encouraged many of us at the moment we need if most. He is greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Sincerely, Civilian Student Training Program.

It's just about 27 years since I came to know Joe...Becca and her family knew you all longer, of course, but I'm forever in your debt for the help you gave a young, married couple...helping us get into our first house....then helping us drive the criminals out of the neighborhood! Joe sacrificed so many hours on that place...we owe so much for that and the cheer that he brought us all over the years. I'm so glad that my newest family members, both kids, grandkids, and daughters in law, got to meet him before he left. Love to you all....Boyce

Nina, I love you so much. I don't remember a part of my childhood without you. I thank God for that. You are a blessing to me and always have been. You are mom in my heart. Teresa, I love you. What fun we had growing up. We fought and played like sisters. I am sorry we lost touch. I hope we never do again.

Joe has been a part of my life all my life. After the grief has subsided, we will remember the man who would put money in a stranger's parking meter and give his boots to a little boy. His home was always my home.

While I never had a chance to meet Joe in person I heard the wonderful stories about his service here at the Camp Robinson chapel. I am positive that his dedication to serve God and country changed the lives of many young men and women. He will be missed and the entire chapel staff will continue to pray for the Hudgens family during this time. God bless. Here to serve, CH Jeremy Miller
