What a great man who has left behind a wonderful legacy! I met him for the first time in 1995 when his Grandson, Scott A. Dudley brought me to meet the family, and each of them left a wonderful, lasting impression. We ended up married the next year, and I am the mother of his Great Grandson, Scottie Dudley, Jr.. Scottie really looks up to his Dudley side- he was so sad to hear of his Great Granfather's passing.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you, and may God Bless each of you!
