If ever a man deserved the title Native Son, it's Roger Hudson. His passing on Friday leaves a large void in the Coeur d'Alene community. Roger was born in Coeur d'Alene, graduated from Coeur d'Alene High School and North Idaho Junior College. He worked the family business as the third generation and brought in his sons, Steve and Todd, as the fourth generation. Fifth generations of Hudsons can be seen carrying the Hudson's Hamburger torch 101 years after the business started. While we'll all miss Roger's presence, no one will miss him quite as much as his wife, Barbara, and his sons, already are/Kerri Thoreson, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
