A Hero’s Prayer
IN LOVING MEMORY - WILLIAM “GREG” CUDNEY
Greg Cudney, the writer of “A Hero’s Prayer” passed on in March of 2023. A Navy veteran who served in Vietnam, Greg wrote this song for his fellow veterans called “A Hero’s Prayer”.
It has inspired standing ovations at every THREE MEN and a TENOR performance, and sometimes during the song. The song is featured on the new 3MT25 CD and is part of almost every 3MT performance. Click on the video to hear this amazing song and read his touching obituary below:
William Gregory Cudney Sr. of Grand Ledge passed away unexpectedly on March 28, 2023. Greg was born October 7, 1947 in Calumet, Michigan to the late William L. and Verna J. (Penfield) Cudney. He graduated from Grand Ledge High School in the Class of 1965 and proudly served his country in the United States Navy during Vietnam. Greg worked at Motor Wheel in Lansing for nearly twenty years and also did a lot of mechanical work and auto repair over the years. He was also a very good welder and taught this trade at Lansing Community College. Greg was a longtime member of the American Legion Cole-Briggs Post 48 where he served as Chaplain and was an active member of the Memorial Honor Guard. Many will remember hearing Greg sing the song he wrote called “A Hero’s Prayer” which showed his creativity but also his unwavering commitment to those who have served to defend our freedoms and honor our great country. The musical group, Three Men and a Tenor as well as their technical director, Donny Brown, are continuing the legacy of Greg’s song by performing it at their concerts.
