His life’s desire was to leave his full estate to the organization he loved and worked to support throughout his lifetime: Shriners Hospitals for Children®. On Oct. 22, the hospitals’ officials will gather in St. Louis with A.B. Hudson’s family and friends to honor him for a gift of more than $60 million, the largest in the organization’s nearly 90-year history.
Known widely throughout Kansas as a rancher, businessman, entrepreneur, inventor and benefactor, A.B. Hudson passed away in 2008 at the age of 84 at his home in Wichita Falls. A lifetime member of the Shriners International fraternity, he was a member of his chapter’s Mounted Patrol and traveled the country – from California to the White House – with his beloved horse, Hobo.
In honor of his gift, Shriners Hospitals for Children will name its St. Louis hospital building for him.
