Obituary:
MANSFIELD: Victor A. Hudak, 50, of Wheeling, WV and formerly of Mansfield, died Tuesday, May 29, 2007 in Wheeling Hospital, Wheeling, West Virginia.
Victor was born May 12, 1957 in Elyria to Betty M. (Herman) and Victor Michael Hudak. He was a 1975 graduate of Midview High School in Grafton and attended culinary arts school.
Since moving to Wheeling four years ago, Victor drove a cab for the Yellow Cab Company, a job that was well suited for him since he was blessed with such an uplifting and positive attitude, and never met a stranger. While living in Mansfield, he was employed by Ryan’s Steak House.
Victor was a sports enthusiast, enjoying all sports but golf was his favorite. He loved all types of music and was quite content just playing his guitar.
He is survived by his loving mother Betty M. Hudak of Mansfield; a sister and brother-in-law Christine M. and Stephen Zemka of Lucas; a niece and her husband Stephanie and Eric Baughman; a great niece Alisha and a great nephew Clyde; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father on April 7, 2000.
Friends may call Friday June 1, 2007, from 1 – 2 pm at First Assembly of God Church, 1000 McPherson Street, Mansfield where the funeral service will be held at 2 pm. Pastor Thomas D. Blair will officiate. Burial will follow in Mansfield Cemetery. The Lexington Avenue Snyder Funeral Home is serving the family.

have to announce the news of one of our family
has passed on. Tasty Tina a.k.a. Vicky performed
Saturday evening (1/27) an energetic performance
of "Maneater" for our Snowball. Unfortunately,
her health took a turn for the worse, collapsed
then rushed to the hospital where she passed onto
heaven's stage. We will miss her energy,
congineality and most of all that unique laughter
she graced upon us. Condolences to the family and
friends who are in grief.
Mama Bagel, Gone but not forgotten
In saying that, check out the ones you love below..
Some days are just emotionally difficult no matter how much time goes by, it seems.
Today would have been my mother's 69th birthday.
She died in January of 1992 at the age of 54. There are times, though, it feels just like yesterday.
This day rolls around every year; however, I'm not as bad as I'd been in the past. For years I'd dread from mid-August to this day and moodiness and depression would overtake me.
Now, it's a little different for me. Like today, I woke up and just felt a little off. I didn't want to talk to anyone, I felt sad. It really wasn't until I sat down in front of my computer and saw the date that I realized what the date was. Yeah, I knew it was coming up, but sometimes it hits me like running into a brick wall.
I miss her. I miss her everyday. I think about her everyday. Even after all these years, if that makes me a "momma's boy" well, that's always been a known fact. lol
I still grieve not just for my own personal loss, but her's as well. The accomplishments of her children she never got to see; the good man and women her children became all due to her love, guidance and lessons she taught to us by her example; the grandchildren she never met.
I still wish, and want, to call her and talk with her. Anyone know the area code and extension for Heaven? That's where she is now. I do take comfort in that belief: she is living in the everlasting love and glory of God, she is free from the pain and suffering of earthly life, she watches over me (and us) and knows. In fact, she's probably smiling down and shaking her head at me right now for feeling this way and writing this. Understanding my feelings yet knowing and understanding more about life than I can here in this life.
She gives me strength today as she always has; she continues to inspire me everyday. Alas, I'm only human and sometimes my feelings and emotions, my selfish grief and sense of loss can get to me. That is today. As much as I honor her in every way I can everyday, I miss her.
My Mother’s Heart
I never could have been more loved
Than by my mother when she was here
Her thoughtful, caring, soothing way
Her image remains so clear
Gentle hands, brilliant smile
Comforting words to ease the pain
Clearing the unmarked path ahead
Encouraging support with modest restrain
The only face I saw in the crowd
Fulfilling a child’s selfish needs
Her love was boundless while on this earth
I received a gift in all her deeds
Now when I’m cold and all alone
An emptiness that tears me apart
I wrap inside the memory
And live again inside her heart.

Good bye zerokookguy25. Michael Holland (Kasandra Blake), thought your gone from this earth, your memory will live on forever through us who knew you. We will always remember you. WVCOWBOY (Mike) and the gang from gay.com. 
It is with great sadness that I report to you, our Long Fork community, that our Mr. Pride Long Fork 2007 winner and friend Bill Arnold decided to end his life Tuesday night. Bill was well loved and respected among the community in Charleston as well as here at gay camp. He will be missed greatly by many. I didn't know Bill well but I saw something good and wonderful inside him and I am very sad that I will not have the opportunity to get to know him better. Bill put on a great performance for our Mr. Pride Long Fork contest over Memorial day weekend and his enthusiasm and energy was uplifting and encouraging and a great source of motivation for me personally in preparing for the contest.
On behalf of the entire staff here at Long Fork, our thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his family.
Steve and the Longfork Family

DREWBOI1978, You will not be forgotten. Loved by many. Gay.com will always remember your charisma and infinite personality. Rest in Peace, friend..
