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.

Hail and Farewell -- memorable man, in good company.... (reply)

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.

DOC CALLED ON CHRISTMAS DAY FOR A LONG GAB. (reply)

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 only met him in person once, and... (reply)

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

He will be missed. - JM.

RIP Sir (reply)

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.

Now THAt is a fitting epitaph. Thank you Terry. (reply)

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

Very sad news..... (reply)

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

Very Sad.. one of the first people in 1999 here I talked (reply)

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

Never met the man, but my prayers go out for him (reply)

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!

I only new him from this board, but I have the impression (reply)

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 was just remembering his visit with you folks. Thanks! (reply)

TERRY MURBACH — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 16:40:56 +0000

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.

As Doc Hudson once said, “a family”... (reply)

...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.

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.

Sad news indeed (reply)

Fivegunner — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 13:35:58 +0000

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.

Sad news indeed (reply)

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.

Thanks Rob. Very sorry to hear this. (reply)

Hoot — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 04:49:56 +0000

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.

Very sad to hear that (reply)
