Mario A.C. Hudson

Mario A.C. Hudson, formerly of Remsenburg, died on March 18. He was 67,

He was born on January 25, 1945, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Augusto and Maria Hudson. On January 18, 1970, he married Mary Allness in Viroqua, Wisconsin. They were married for 43 years and together had three children and five grandchildren.

Mr. Hudson and his wife uprooted their charmed lives in Brazil in 1988 and moved to Remsenburg, where they lived for 24 years. They retired in 2012 and moved to sunny Stuart, Florida, where they could soak in the sun and sea year-round, a dream come true for both.

He had a long career as a heating and air-conditioning specialist. Upon closing his own HVAC business when leaving Brazil and moving to the East End, he worked as a technician, retiring from Weber & Grahn after 15 years of dedicated service.

According to survivors, Mr. Hudson appreciated the simple things in life, such as working on his vintage Volkswagen Beetle, enjoying a cold beer at the end of a long day and sneaking treats to his grandchildren.

Mr. Hudson is survived by his wife, Mary; their three children, Tanya Zaleski and husband Alex, Thais Sgrizzi and husband Matt; a sister, Augusta Levy and husband Ronald; five grandchildren, Lyla, Taylor and Kane Zaleski, and Rocco and Ruby Sgrizzi; a nephew, Daniel Levy; and many relatives and friends.

He was predeceased by his parents, Augusto de Almeida Hudson and Maria das Dores Camoes Hudson.

Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 20, at Follet & Werner Funeral Home in Westhampton Beach, with a prayer service beginning a noon.

Dear Neighbor

Congratulations on your new windows. They certainly are big. They certainly are see-through. You must be thrilled with the way they removed even more of that wall and replaced it with glass. It must make it easier to see what is going on in your house even when the internet is down. And security is everything. Which explains the windows. Nothing will make you feel more secure than imagining yourself looking over the rear-yard setback from these massive sheets of structural glass. Staring at the wall has well-known deleterious impact, and windows the size of movie screens are the bold ... 11 Dec 2025 by Marilee Foster

I Can Dish It Out

Our basement looks like the final scene in “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” where the (found) ark is crated and wheeled into the middle of a government warehouse with stacked crates going on for miles. In other words, we have a lot of stuff. This tracks. Mr. Hockey and I have been married for 36 (according to my calculator) years. We’ve had four (no calculator needed) pucks. We’ve lived in seven (according to my fingers) different homes in three (no calculator or fingers needed) countries. In 2010, we moved back to East Hampton full time.

The Urgency of Real

The Hamptons International Film Festival typically takes up a lot of oxygen in the fall on the South Fork, but it’s worth celebrating a slightly smaller but just as vital event in late autumn: the Hamptons Doc Fest. Running this week for its 18th year, the festival of documentaries was founded by Jacqui Lofaro and has become an essential part of the region’s arts scene every year. It’s a 12-month undertaking for Lofaro and her staff, and the result is always a tantalizing buffet of outstanding filmmaking, not to mention unforgettable stories. The arrival of the era of streaming services ... 10 Dec 2025 by Editorial Board

Proceed With Caution

Overlay districts are a common zoning tool used by many municipalities. Southampton Town has used them to varying degrees of success — the aquifer protection overlay district has been a winner; a downtown overlay district in Hampton Bays less so — in various parts of the town. They essentially look at the existing zoning, then allow those rules governing what can be done on properties to be reconsidered if there’s a newer concern to be addressed. In a bid to clean up the process for creating more affordable housing, the Town Board is looking at a new overlay district that ... by Editorial Board
