Rosie, Josh, I'm so sorry to hear of Judd's passing. He was such a good guy. I always enjoyed working with him at the Bank. He was very practical and had a lot of common sense when it came to resolving issues. Not something I ran across a lot. I appreciate our time together and wish you and your family all the best.

Sincerely, Steve Speth
