Both Emmet and I were very saddened to hear about Mr. Judy's death. Sannette (and all of your wonderful children and grandchildren), we offer our deepest sympathies. We shared many wonderful times as neighbors on Pioneer Street and as friends with special memories of all of you! (The piano lessons from Sannette where after one year of practice by Pris, Clare made a simple comment that I was finally (my words) improving - and all of the other students were at least twenty or so years younger than me)...all of the fun babysitting times and stories as our own family grew and your family grew up. All of you gave us such joy in the beginnings of our marriage and having children. Today is our 36th wedding anniversary and we think of you and the 50th wedding celebration and of the great legacy Clare has left for many many people. Much love to all of you from the Ronan family (Emmet, Pris, Rob, Mike, Brian and Kevin).

Clare was a gifted seminary teacher from whom I learned a great deal. I remember my association with him with great fondness. My mother also worked with him in the Arctic Circle in Preston, Idaho.

Brother Judy had a profound influence upon my life. His kind words, patient ear, and sound doctrine helped encourage me and made me want to follow Christ closer. He was the ideal teacher--trying to share with us what was most precious. He was professional and yet approachable. His concern always seemed to be for other people. Hearing about his life at the funeral today--and seeing the short video from his 50th Wedding Anniversary made me want to be a better disciple of Christ. That is the influence he had on people--and the influence he will continue to have in my life. He is a great man. He shall be missed--but his legacy in his family and in his students will continue to bless generations. I thank God I knew him.

Clare made any occassion more lively with his enthuastic sense of humor. He always showed such an interest in the other person. I treasured Clare as a brother. Some of my fondest memories of Clare were golf outings. He was an excellent golfer and set a high standard for Vick and me. Because Clare lived so far away, our time together was limited. But, all of my memories of Clare are wonderful.

I feel to pay my respects for Claire, who married my cousin, Sannette. My wife (Melanie Carter) and I found their marriage intriguing. She is Claire's cousin on the Judy side, and I am a cousin of Sannette on the Passey side. Our cousins brought up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and we honor them for this. God be with them.

Hello, I was saddened to hear about Bro. Judy. I met Bro. Judy many years ago as he taught our Celestial marriage class. He was wonderful, very inspirational. I have thought of him often. I read a poem one time that said "time cannot steal the memories that we carry in our hearts", and that has always been a comfort to me. I'm sure the Judy family will hear from many people that Bro. Judy was an exceptional character! Our thoughts are with you, The Meryhew's
