I didn't know Bill all that well, but he was one of the people that I liked and admired from the first time I met him.
His legacy and work will endure and be long remembered. His gift to the HET club will also be long remembered. The HET club has lost a great HudsonNut.
Safe journey home, Mr. A.

Hudsoning has lost one of its' great champions. But that means almost zero to loosing a friend.0

Wow, I truly hate to hear this. Hope he has a Fast Hudson up there in the Heavens up above. Bill was a good man. I will miss him and dealing with him from time to time. May he rest in peace!0

Really sad even tho expected.
"Wheeled & dealed" with Bill for probably 30 years & there were few, if any, who were more involved with Hudsons than Bill - his passing immediately reminded me of John Donne's famous "do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee".0 -
Vic - could you post/notify if/when any public service or memorial will occur as I'd like to drive over & attend. TY Pete0

So sorry to hear. I did enjoy the times I visited and talked with Bill. Keeping all in our prayers.

I'm truly sorry to hear of Bills passing. I have known him for over 29 years.
He was an Icon in the Hudson community and will be missed by many.
I did have the privilege of visiting the ranch back in 2001. I was hoping
to visit with him again. He would always ask me at the nationals "when are coming to visit again".
Rest in peace Bill.

I have only been in the HET CLUB since 2001 . However, in that time I have come to truly understand and appreciate the people. I met Bill a few times and felt honored and respectful of his willingness to welcome me into this wonderful group. Thanks Bill and Godspeed......0

Having only known Bill for a few years I have felt that he welcomed all to the Hudson family. I have always enjoyed my visits to his place.
Godspeed Bill

As Todd, Jane and I timidly ventured into the HET family two years ago we had the great good fortune to meet Bill. While we appreciated his vast knowledge of and appreciation for correctly restored Hudson’s we will forever cherish the warm friendship that he extended to us on so many occasions. Our deepest condolences are extended to Barbara, Jay, David and others in Bill’s family. Bill was an American treasure.

Met him at the '05 Reno meet; bought a bunch of parts there from him for the Terraplane. A wealth of Hudson knowledge in that brain.0

I hope the Lord has a Hudson Garage for you. Your knowledge and enthusiasm will be greatly missed. I am sure you will be smilling from above at all future National meets. Take care Bill A. Have a good trip and may the Lord welcome you home. Arnie In Nevada0

I've only known Bill a month. But I was very lucky to meet a legend to the Hudson community. He will be remembered and missed for a long time.
Rest In Peace,

Known Bill since 1972, And in 1973, Bill helped get my 1956 Hudson back on the road with a very rare part. I would not still have it today if it were not for Bill. He touched all of our lives.
Thanks, Bill.0 -
I did not have the honor and pleasure of truly knowing Bill Albright but I found him to be a virtual treasure trove of knowledge concerning the Hudson automobile. I am sure that many of us who had great respect for him will miss his generous nature in the sharing of his expertise. God speed to you Bill.

We are all so sad to hear of Bill's passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and family....you have the greatest loss...may God be with you and may Bill rest in peace.
Bill was our greatest HUDSON fan.
He inspired us and helped us achieve our dreams.
He achieved his and was able to spend the greater part of his life doing what he truly loved.
He'd go out of his way for us....he was always there to help and offer advice. You'd call in need of a part...he knew you wanted it "yesterday"...and he'd ship it before you sent him payment. He'd welcome you to visit Vintage Coach and allow you to tour it's treasures.
Bill was a great friend.
Bill... we will miss you but we will never forget you. You are always in our hearts.
