Barry was a graduate of Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, VT (‘67) with his summers spent working on Cape Cod in Falmouth. He treasured the many lifelong friendships that he made during his time at St. Mike’s, his friends becoming his “Band of Brothers” for the next 50 years.

From 1974 to 1980 Barry worked in the Office of Chief Counsel for the Internal Revenue Service.

Roosevelt “Roze” Hudson was born on September 22, 1944 from the union of C. D. Hudson and Equilla (Oats) Hudson in Coy, Alabama. He was the fifth of nine children born of that union.

Roze accepted Christ in his life and was baptized at an early age. He was educated in the Mobile County Public School system, where in May 1963, he graduated from Rosa A. Lott High School in Citronelle, Alabama.

Shortly thereafter, Roze followed in the footsteps of his older brothers by migrating north. First to New York, then settling in Boston, which would become his home for the remainder of his life. It was during those early years in Boston in which he had two children, Renard Mason and Shanna Shaw.

Many considered Roze a “doctor of cars” fixing even the most difficult of collision jobs, making a car appear as though it was brand new from a show room floor. Cars would remain his passion throughout his life, even up until the very end.

In 1982, Roze met his future wife, Nan Lawson. In 1986, their daughter Nicole Renee Hudson was born. The couple united in their lifelong union of marriage on August 7, 1992.
