OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU DURING THIS TIME OF SORROW.
JAMES AND JOYCE CLEMENTS
I would just like to say how sorry I am for your loss. Mr. Hudgins(pawpaw) was a wonderful man, and I know he will be greatly missed. He was a great father figure to Dale and when Dale and I were together he spoke very highly of his pawpaw. His character spoke for itself.

I express my sympathy to the Hudgins family. I enjoyed seeing Rufus.He always had a smile and something nice to say. Rufus knew all about a lifetime of hard work, but he enjoyed doing it, and he did it well. If it was construction, concrete or wood you could depend on him.He took pride in what he did. His kind are becoming harder to find. I will cherish his memory. Barry Pate M.D.
