Apparently he was feeling poorly last night, finally asked his Mom to call 911, and then he died of a massive heart attack on the way to the hospital.

I don't have any other information except that the funeral will be on Tuesday.

Dad gum it.

We lost another good one RIP

this is a very sad message for me... I will miss him greatly... we traded recipies many times,, His jalapeno sweet bug killer sauce was the best I ever had. May he rest in peace.

I kind of lost track of him after his move back to Alabama, had a couple nice dinners with him and the ex wife in Gatlinburg over the years, awful sorry to hear this.

.

Damn.

I forgot about his bug killer sauce! It was really good. Wish I had some now that I am a better cook than back in the day...

I haven't talked to him in years, but still thought of him as a friend. One of many good guys in here that unfortunately I will never meet in person. I need to do my best to meet more of you fine gentlemen face to face to keep that regret as small as possible.

I wish he would have found his way back here and experienced this board being a good place again. It's gone through its phases, but we've definitely got a good group here now!

Aw man, I was thinking of him a few weeks ago. Thought about getting in touch but the info I had was all outdated.

God Speed Doc.......

Otony

prayers sent, he will be missed.

Doc is among my earliest memories of this place. Met him at CSA and had some of his chili and cornbread. Thoroughly enjoyed his company and his contributions to the board.

Salute Doc!

Rest in peace.

Doc was a good friend when I was going through a rough patch. We kept in touch for a while after he drifted away from the boards.

I will miss Doc , and I will also remember him. He is one of the many good guys that I remember reading his post`s when I first found this place. Rest in peace Doc.

What a shock. I had not read a post of his in years, but he was not a person I would easily forget. May God bless him and his family.

...is what we are, in regard to this group of posters, who have weathered all the changes over the years. Doc was one of the old gang. I recall well the strong opinions expressed and just as rapidly, a recipe or two. It was Arroz con Pollo and his secret salsa, sent out upon request to one and all. May he rest in peace.

AND WE DID HAVE A LONG GABFEST ! HE WAS GOING BLIND, COULD NO LONGER DRIVE, AND WAS PRETTY WELL STUCK AT HOME. STILL, HIS ATTITUDE WAS GOOD, WE TALKED AT LENGTH ABOUT HIS LAST VISIT HERE WITH US IN THE BLACK HILLS, AND SHOOTING UP A STORM WHILE HE WAS HERE. I MEAN TO TELL YOU, HE, HIS X-WIFE, AND THE TWO OF US WERE ALL OVER WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA THAT TIME WOW !!! I TOOK HIM IN THE BACK DOOR OF THE BADLANDS AND EVERYTIME WE'D STOP TO SEE THINGS FOLKS WOULD GAWK AT A HIM, A HUGE SCOT IN FULL SCOTTISH REGALIA, KNIVES AND ALL. HE COULD ALSO CONCEAL NUMEROUS PISTOLS IN THAT BIG KILT. WHEN WE STOPPED AT THE INDIAN RUN RESTAURANT THERE SOUTH OF THE "ENTRANCE" OF THE BADLANDS THOSE INJUNS LOOKED AT HIM, LIKE HE WAS MONSTER. FROM AROUND CORNERS, WHISPERING AND POINTING. WE LAUGHED OURSELVES SILLY OVER THAT.
DOC HUDSON WAS A FINE FELLOW AND HIS PASSING IS A LOSS TO ALL OF US SIXGUNNERS. GLORY BE AND HALLELUJAH, MAY THE LORD BE MERCIFUL UPON YOUR SOUL, DOC.

Doc was one to Kick in the pearly gates and announce his arrival, rather than knock on St Peters door. I am saddened by the news.

I am at a loss for words. Doc and I discovered we were descended from the same clan of Scots, MacDonald, Lords of the Isles. I was sorry that we didn't keep in touch. I really missed his comments here and on Lever guns.
God Bless you Doc! God speed!

.. And his family.

with...I have missed his being here over the years. But I know his journey home is now complete and he has eternal peace.

Doc was one of the guys I remember well from my first days on this board. Always enjoyed his posts. We'll miss him.

Doc was a character extempore, among a group or characters...

Every memory I have of this website and it's earlier iterations, just shy of 2 decades, Doc was a fixture. He will be missed.

...he was a mountain of a man; both in person, and in character.

He will be missed. - JM.

I was remembering when he came through SW MO and I met him in Mt Vernon. He stuck a 44 Mag in my wife's hand and said, "here little lady. Shoot this!" She didn't even hesitate and emptied it on the target. I asked my wife if she would shoot more often with me if I too wore a kilt. But I don't have a chance at making the same impression he did in his. The only chance I had to meet him. It is a fine memory I'll have for life.

I remember him from the very early days of our board. Makes me feel sad and old. Time is going to take us all. Very sorry to hear.

may his Glory be sufficiently interesting for his energies.

I remember Doc from as early as the Earp.com days, probably 1997-98. My earilest memory of meeting him was in 2003 while camping at the Mattengly's. Kathry and I, Jason Freeman, Lance, Jack and someone else had already turned in for the night. Doc and Marcia arrived about 11:00 and set up their camp. The next day he cooked a bunch of food on Dutch ovens for the group.

I talked with him via Email a few years ago and then lost contact. He had been in my thoughts lately too.

God's speed my friend.
