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.

Cleaning Out

There is no setting on binoculars that works in the fog — everything in the distance remains indistinct, and that is fine. Here, the low place, called Sagg Swamp, begins a nearly uninterrupted corridor of unbuilt-upon land: wetlands, ponds and kettleholes; the Long Pond Greenbelt runs for miles to the old harbor. Today, contained, the only fog is there. It rises up from the dark muck to smudge the damp foliage with its dreamy, silver light. So, above, as the crow flies, the air is tinted between gold and pink. Fog is a reoccurring theme, because it reveals a sense ... by Marilee Foster

'Novembrance'

Gaudy October is gone. The November landscape is muted colors, falling leaves and skeletal branches. The month opens with reminders of death. In the Catholic Church, November first is All Saints’ Day. On November 2, All Souls Day is dedicated to praying for the souls of the departed. The Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead is celebrated on the same days but has a more festive air. It’s also observed across the United States. The All-Souls Procession has been an annual event since 1990 in Tucson, Arizona. San Antonio, Texas, is known for its Muertos Fest and river ... by Denise Gray Meehan

A Bright Spot

There were strong Democratic victories nationally in last week’s election, led by Mikie Sherrill winning the governorship of New Jersey, and Abigail Spanberger winning the governorship of Virginia, and other Democratic wins seen as involving clear anti-President Donald Trump viewpoints. In Suffolk County, we were in the viewing area in which a torrent of TV commercials were broadcast in the race between Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli, who in most of them stressed his staunch support for Trump. Although the race was predicted to be tight, Sherrill won by a large margin. This and other successful Democratic contests are being ... by Karl Grossman
