James Clark Judkins, Jr

I'm so sorry to learn Jim passed seven years ago. I met him and his lovely family when I was a child in Israel, while my father was comissioned as a Chilean army officer for the UN, just like him. Me and my family became close friends to Jim, Selinda, Sandy and Jimmy, and after all this time (44 years, nothing less) we have never forgotten them all. My thoughts are with him and his family.
Rest in peace and my love to Selinda, Sandy and Jimmy.

Jim was my class Commander in the Q Course and I the class Field First. He offered his friendship, guidance and the wisdom of a true mentor and Brother. I knew him to have the abilities to make others want to be better and to excel. Sadly over the years we lost track of each other but the memories of having served with him crossed my thoughts many times. Thinking of him I reached out only to be saddened in learning of his passing. Rest well Brother.

Rest well my friend. Your friendship, courage and dedication to your country will not be forgotten as long as those who knew you draw breath. Know that you are truly missed. God bless you and keep you in his sheltering arms.

I will never forget his kindness to me a d my family each time we visited at Bacons Castle.He was a true southern gentleman and he loved his family and his land with pride a d passion.

I am so very sorry to learn of Jim Clark's death. His family has my deepest sympathy.

I want to offer my condolences to Sandy and all of Jims family. I had the opportunity to visit Jim in 94 for a week. He taught me about my family's history and showed me what life in Surry was all about. It was one of the most memorable times in my life and I'm very thankful he opened his life and home to me. God Bless Jim and his family.

A moving ceremony and fitting tribute to a great American. I am fortunate to have been friends and coworkers with him and it was great to meet and get to know the family in spite of the circumstances. You are all in our family"'s prayers and we are here to help if you need us. God bless

I never knew Jim but my grandson-in-law, Jason Seward,did and only last week told me about him. He told me this morning of his passing.I am an SF Vietnam veteran and retiree and would like to express my regrets at his passing and offer my condolences and my prayers to his family.
Rest in Peace Valiant Warrior!

Are deepest sympathies from our family to yours. Jim was a remarkable man and has touched so many life's. He will be so missed.

Jim Clark was one of the kindest souls I ever met,who always welcomed me and my family and made us feel at home in his home. He will be sorely missed.

I have known Jim for a life time. We are both White Marsh Rd children. Although we grew up during a period of segregation, he treated me with dignity. I am proud to have known him.

JIM served his country with total dedication! He loved his family in a very special way. Ginger and I considered ourselves very fortunate to have called JIM a true friend. May God be with and comfort Teresa Gregus, Sandy & her family, and Little JIM & family! Ginger and I can not be there in person, whoever, in spirit we are front row! May Jim Rest In Peace!! Don & Little Honey

I was a Special Forces 1LT when I first met LTC Judkins in 1985. He was an awesome soldier, a great Officer and a gentleman. I was a better man, soldier and officer for knowing him. RIP.

What an outstanding individual. Condolences and prayers to JC and the family.

My sincere condolences to Teresa and the Judkins Family. I had the privilege of working for Jim back in 1984 at Fort Bragg. I always remember him as a great leader and mentor. Our nation has lost another patriot. I am certain his legacy will live on.

To Teresa and the Judkins Family - I am so sorry to see that Jim had passed - My thoughts and prayers are with you - Sincerely Jim Kyriazis

Having married John Judkins, Jr. in 1983, I met Jim at a family reunion, and was impressed by his quiet, friendly demeanor. It was obvious, right from that first meeting, that here was a man who was honorable, generous, well-loved, and a true patriot. My condolences to Sandy, J.C., Teresa, and family. Jim will be sorely missed.

Rest In Peace - Judd
You are a true Patriot and it was an honor to know you.

Gone but not forgotten

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jim's loved ones. He will be missed by so many, but will always be remembered. Rest in peace, Jim Clark.

Judd was one of the truly quiet professionals, who has done more in his 72 years than most do and hopefully someday the classification restrictions will be lifted so all know what a hero lived among them. Blue sky old friend and the drop zone is always open where you are now.

I would like to offer my deepest condolences for your loss. May your family find peace and comfort in knowing sickness, pain and death will one day be gone for this has been promised.

Jim was an exemplary man who loved his family, friends, community, and country. Some of my most fond memories is being a teenager and "growing up on the farm". He was a mentor, a friend, a role model, and extended family.

Sandy, JC, and Teresa- My deepest condolences go out to you all for the loss of such a wonderful man. May all the fond memories and fun times heal your hearts during this time. He will be greatly missed.

RIP Jim. Thank you for your service. Eddie Curl , Dendron, Va.

With Jim's passing Surry County lost a great citizen, America lost a great patriot, and I lost a great friend. I don't remember a time when I did not know Jim. Jim recruited me into the Boy Scouts when I was about 11 years old. The oath, On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country defined his life and I am blessed to have known him and that he was my friend.

Jim was a positive person too so many people in our community, including his family and his extended family of friends.

He was a strong advocate for doing the right thing to ensure all people were treated fairly and did his best to encourage me during various life challenges too. When something affected a family member or our community, Jim was there or was on the phone checking on the issues at hand!
He encourage voter registration and voter participation to ensure our local, state and national elected officials could do what was good.

He was a true Southerner and a true Virginia Gentleman too.

A one-of-a-kind person you could depend on, who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.

To Sandy, JC and Teresa... our hearts and prayers go out to the family for internal peace and comfort in the coming days and weeks ahead. You should remain proud and honored to have had a father/partner who is well respected and loved by so many. And too, for his demonstrated leadership, mentoring and his influence over local community citizens and Surry County needs.

We all shall miss him greatly!

I remember when our elementary class at Surry Elementary Public Schools went to tour your dairy farm in the third grade I think it was. You and you father were so wonderful, even letting,us climb up in the loft, thrilling each little girl you lifted.
What a sad loss to the community, and how much you freely gave in service.
In respect,
Donna Warthan

A fine man, start to finish. RIP Judd.

Rest in peace my friend! I'm in shock. I was sure we had at least 30 more years of spitfire to go. I loved working in the trenches with you on smaller battlefields here at home. You are loved and will be sorely missed.

We all love you and miss you already. Dad and I wish we had one more day out on the farm but we will come and visit you soon. Thanks for all the fun times and keeping my heart in the South. I'll be sure to check up on Buster and Scout as much as I can.

RIP Judd. There are just so many thoughts, there was so little time. You are always in my thoughts.

On behalf of my mother, Delilah Doggett, and myself, our deepest sympathies and condolences are extended to the family and friends of Jim Clark Judkins.
Jim was a lifelong close friend and school classmate of my oldest sister, Sandra D. Crocker.
Our families shared many good times visiting back and forth over the years.
Jim's dedicated service to Surry County, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States in various capacities in and out of the military was exemplary and much appreciated.
Jim will always be remembered as a loyal son of Surry and as one of the boys of Bacon's Castle.
