The Green Eyed Soul Sucker! It's 9 o'clock, do you know where your children are? The only time as a child when we could stay up past bedtime was when Dudley was on the radio. We would call in to make record requests. Mine was always, play Michael Jackson...I didn't know to name the record, but he always played me Michael Jackson. He made us feel like superstars by calling out our names on the radio. Forever grateful to have known him, and to have him as a motivator in my life. Rest in Heavenly Peace! To: Nina, Patrice, Dawn, and Chris & Family. I love you and am praying for you during this challenging time. Trust God through it all.

I fondly remember those Friday nights when Dudley played the hits. He was the first Black DJ in Sandusky, which was welcome after being used to having such entertainers in Pittsburgh and Detroit. I send my love, condolences, and prayers to the family.
