JOHN HUDSON

FAMILY
Parents
John's mother, Clara Hudson, was a semi-regular in 1987. Since then she has only appeared twice: for one day during John's first wedding in 1989, and then for several months in 1995. In those six years she was mentioned often, usually as babysitter for John's son, Gregory. In 1995, Clara began exhibiting the signs of Alzheimer's, though this was never developed. Clara is currently in Green Farm Retirement Home.

John's father died of alcoholism when he was young. He has never been named.

Children
John has one child, Gregory John Hudson, who was born in February 1991. John is a devoted father.

John has also been a pseudo-step-father to Josie Watts, the daughter of his wife, Sharlene.

Siblings
Michael Hudson. Both brothers have been close, except for the major falling out they had in 1987 over Michael's wife, Donna.

In 1995 John helped Michael through his bout with leukemia. He seemed to forget about his brother's fragile condition the next year when he exchanged blows with him after discovering that Michael had slept with Sharlene.

Other Relatives
Vicky Hudson, niece. Marley Hudson, niece. Nick Hudson, nephew. Steven Frame, great-nephew. Kirkland Harrison, great-nephew.

John has an aunt Edna from Maine.

During a perusal of the Hudson family bible, the following names were mentioned: Jeremiah, Enoch, and Jacob. The first was a riverboat gambler and the rest were farmers.
