Paul Eddie Hudson passed away on April 24, 2019 in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the age of 74. He was born on the family farm north of Goodman, Missouri, on August 26, 1944 to the late Levy G. Hudson and Parelee Hudson. He is survived by his only sister, Ruth Marie Nicoletti of Goodman.
Paul went to school in Goodman and graduated from Goodman High School in 1962. He moved to Tulsa in 1964 with is wife, Montez, who preceded him in death. He became a member of the IBEW-Local 584 as an apprentice. He studied for four years to become a Journeyman Wireman. Not long ago, he received the diamond membership pin for 50 years of service. He felt blessed to have made some lifelong friends among the IBEW Brotherhood.
His work as JW took him to many places and he delighted in telling stories about his travels, his adventures and his sometimes, misadventures. On one such adventure, he found himself in a little town in Utah on his 33rd birthday.
It was during that time of celebration that he met his future wife, Jeannie. They eventually moved back to Paul's family farm and married on December 31, 1980. Together they worked on the farm and raised a fine herd of beef cattle. Along with the cow/calf operation, Paul also opened County Lines Motors where he could enjoy his love of cars. He loved a beautiful automobile and enjoyed bringing an old car back to its original glory. He also loved the buying aspect of owning the car lot. Going to auctions of any kind was exciting and fun for him.
Many years of Paul's life were lived hard and fast and having a good time was the order of the day. But, one day he decided that heaven was actually the most important thing he could aspire to. He changed his life and was baptized into the Methodist faith. His church family was of great importance to him. He was a proud member of the ROMEO'S and loved meeting the guys for breakfast each week.
It is Paul's wish that people celebrate his life with laughter and remembrances and has asked that friends and family please share their stories.
