Judy (Animal), I’m so sorry for your loss. I know you and Judd are a team. Nancy loved you guys and Judd always made her laugh. I remember his retirement party. Nancy insisted on coming and while there Nancy saw a OD hooded jacket on a sales rep. She said to me, ‘ I like that jacket, can you get me one’? Judd heard her and next thing I know Judd said something to the sales rep and the rep took the jacket off and handed it to Judd. Judd walked over to Nancy and said ‘her ya go darlin’. He got her that jacket. Nancy looked at me and said ‘Never mind, I have one already’. They both laughed. To me Judd was like a brother and best friend. We had some wonderful conversations over the years working together. He cared about everyone, especially you and his family. God Bless you and may he help you through this loss. I feel your pain but rest assured that he and Nancy are smiling down on us through the clouds and blue sky’s. Both are healed to perfection! Love ya ‘Animal’. :heart::kissing_heart::rose:

We will be elsewhere helping with his celebration of his life.I will have you all in my prayers..
Judy and Family, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. I remember Judd as a funny, happy-go-lucky friend always ready with a joke. His place in the pew at STM will always carry his spirit. I am sorry I will be unable to attend the services but I will be thinking of you. Judd is probably helping Jesus with woodworking, watching a race and looking down on you all with pride. Love you. Bobbi
A great man to work for. The trucking industry needed more guys like Judd. And his brother, Dave. Not forgotten.
Our deepest sympathy, thoughts, and prayers are with the family and friends of Judd. Judd was a great friend and leader, very proud to have been able to work with and know him. Richard Smock & Julia Reed
