The Hudon Family,
We were saddened to hear of your Father’s passing. He was always generous in opening up his land (a vital link to Alex Bay) so we could enjoy riding our sleds. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. The Board, and membership of 1000 Islands Snowmobile Club
I am very sorry for your loss.
May Glenn’s family and friends be comforted by God’s promise to “swallow up death forever, and wipe away every tear from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) Remembering too the promise of the Resurrection hope for both the Unrighteous and Righteous. (Acts 24:15)
Glenn Taught me so much about so many things. I worked with him and cherished him as a friend for so many years. I am proud to have known him…and his family. A true character that loved to laugh. His pride and joy was Eagle…and his wonderful wife Susan. It has been my privilege to know them both for a long time
The Hudon Family,
We are very saddened to hear of Mr. Hudon’s passing. Please accept our sympathies.

Glenn was such a hard working man all his life. He and Susan raised their children to be like them …hard workers. I loved driving by the family farm and seeing his horses and those long horn cattle. Our deepest sympathy to Susan and family.

Sue and family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Glenn’s passing. He was a wonderful man and raised an amazing family. I enjoyed working with you and him at the many minor hockey events…My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Sue and Family,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. but as sad as it is, it brought back so many good memories of our hockey days – like always getting together after games (win or lose), bingo nights, the car show, the hootenanny, balloon fest – so many good times. Not to forget the Athens hockey tournament and the stop at the Hudon establishment on the way home.
I have good memories of Glenn and know you do too.
Teri & Family:
Wishing you peace at this difficult time. Please know that your friends share in your sadness and hope that your good memories of Glenn are stronger than your sorrow.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Sue and family: We are so sorry to hear of Glenn’s passing. We know how difficult the last few years have been for you. We pray you all find peace and comfort knowing that Glenn is now in a better place.
I was nine when I met Glenn…He was Susans new boyfriend. Our dad had died one year earlier. My brother and I needed someone to look up to and to learn from. Glenn was a good man and taught us many things about character and the work ethic.
My brother and I moved away from the Bay when I was twelve..
We have talked about Glenn and Sue many times over the years and always with love and respect for you both. I am sorry Sue and your family for your loss. Ed and I loved the Glenn and Sue team…
