Barry Hudson, police officer, firefighter
Barry E. Hudson spent a good portion of his life as a Crittenden police officer and volunteer firefighter in Florence and Crittenden.
In recent years, he had to give up his firefighter duties because of heart problems. On Monday night, Mr. Hudson, 49, complained about throat problems and collapsed. He never recovered.
However, Mr. Hudson believed in giving his life to others. And in death, he donated his organs to help others live. Already, Mr. Hudson's eyes have been placed with someone else, said his wife of four years, Daisy Morgan Hudson.
"He always loved to help people; he had the kindest heart of anyone," Mrs. Hudson said.
Mr. Hudson, of Crittenden, died at 9:52 p.m. Monday at St. Luke Hospital West in Florence.
Mr. Hudson was a member of United Paper Workers International Union Local No. 7757, the Grant County Football Boosters and the National Rifle Association. He was an Army veteran of the Vietnam War.
Mr. Hudson was born in Dayton, Ky., but grew up in Florence. He was outspoken but had a way with words, his wife said.
He was a loving father and husband and had many friends, she said.
"He always saw the good in people," Mrs. Hudson said. "He always gave of himself."
