My Prayers go out to Hannah and family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jim was a friend and inspiration to me. I slept fitfully last night thinking abut him, the loss we all feel and all he contributed. I wish I had done more with him.

He was always at it, always giving and always sharing. Fun loving and kind.

I will always think of you and remember the good times spent together.

God Bless.

Jim Hudson helped so many and truly when I thought of the Ice Team, sorry Mr. Genz, I thought of Jim. He was inspiration to me and us all and his loss is a great one to the ice fishing and the entire fishing industry in general.

Tragic enough but truly Jim passed doing what he loved.

I am so very sorry for Jim's wife and his family but I would only be so lucky if I should pass doing what I truly loved. I have always been envious of Jim with how he conducted himself as staff here at HSO and how he Pro-Staffed himself and his sponsors both on the internet and in real life. Jim’s articles, media, reports and the thousands of helpful threads and posts he created over the years have touched way more than I assume Jim even ever knew. His adventures and writings inspired me along with countless others. Even with his passing I am still envious of Jim because he did leave a mark and legacy during his time with us because he touched all those who came in contact with him. Jim’s helpfulness, generosity, efforts and memory will never be forgotten.

Thanks Jim for all you had given and done for us over the years.
