Coleman Preston Judy Jr.

First met Pres and Alice together at a dinner with our common GT alumnus friend - my best friend and frat brother Tom Newkirk, at Waterstone in Roswell, the beginning of a longstanding extended family, skiing out west and celebrating all holidays...but I recall we met out in the dark one Saturday wee hours early with spitting rain and wind in Chamblee as we both launched our first half-marathon, leading to 30 marathons and 9 ultras from there. I remember one training run taking me up the hills to Canton Street where I encountered Pres and his buddy Jeff on the infield corner watching the criterium bicycle race. Many great times shared with this fine spirited and gracious soul!

An outstanding supporter of my medical practice starting in the 1970´s
He not only was a supportive colleague but developed into a close family friend
His devotion to Alice was inspiring; his honesty , his deep abiding faith were inspirational to me & my fellow Physicians
I can´t wait to see him score > 40 in Heaven

I remember the NAME Pres Judy as a young boy growing up in Chevy Chase in the early `60s. I believe he was a Park Director one summer behind Morton School. His name was Legend and he had the reputation of a star. Years later I find out niece Lucy May is a part of his family. It´s a small world; my condolences to the family. Pres is appropriately honored.

Pres lived below my roommates & I in Atlanta in 1967-68. We all used to hang out together at the apartment complex. He got my late husband (Corky Rogers) & I together and we were married for 52 years. Pres & Alice were two of our best friends. I was so sorry to hear of his sudden death and send my heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be solely missed by everyone who knew him. Rest in peace my dear friend!

Pres and I became best friends at Henry Clay High School and teammates on the #1 team in Kentucky Basketball. Pres was 1st Team All-State in basketball and 2nd team All-State in football. All of his teammates and classmates admired him and respected his leadership. He went on to a great career at Georgia Tech. I remember still all of my memorable trips to the boom town of Atlanta in the early 1960s. Pres was a great tour guide for all of the very best venues in Atlanta.

After Pres graduated from Tech and joined Olympus he became a leading salesman for the Company. After Olympus introduced the world's best cameras for micro-surgery, Pres was in the operating room personally training hundreds of Cardiologists and surgeons throughout the Southeast how to operate the cameras. I have often wondered how may hundreds of patients Pres helped save their lives.

Most of all I remember Pres's devotion to his wife Alice, his mother Lucy, and his children and grand-children.

Everyone I knew who also knew Pres agreed he was a "great guy".
