Illinois Education Association Minooka Region issued the following announcement on April 11.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of IEA member Steve Hudson to COVID-19. Hudson spent many years as an assistant dean at Academy for Learning in Dolton (Region 55) and also was hired last year as the assistant athletic director at Thornwood High School in South Holland (Region 27).
“I can say this with clear mind,” Vaccaro said. “Steve Hudson was put on this earth to help kids who really needed a lot of help. I’ve met a lot of people over my lifetime. Steve was never one to mention himself or ask, ‘Can you get me this?’ or, ‘Will you let me sponsor a game?’ He was Mac’s guy. Mac Irvin and Steve Hudson helped the kids in the inner city of Chicago as much as anyone I’ve ever seen.”
