Ivan was problem one of my favorite people I´ve had the pleasure to know. We we´re parishioners at St. Patrick´s for a couple decades, and our children attended the school for several years. I also enjoyed working with him there. He got me an incredibly wonderful job as a baker at the Grist Mill, as he knew Don pretty well. I didn´t know he passed until today, so this new is just heartbreaking. Such a gentle, kind-hearted, with an amazing sense of humor. I´m sure he is greatly missed.

Going to St Patrick's school K-8, Mr Judson was always such a bright, beaming light to see in the hallways! I loved the way his laugh and voice echoed in the hallways. I actually still think of him often, fondly, even though I graduated from 8th grade in 2003. I'll be sending up some prayers, love, and gratitude for always being such a friendly, steady presence in our school. Whenever there was a problem in school and we saw Mr Judson show up, we knew everything would be alright. He will be missed.

It was a privilege to spend so many of my "growing up" years having Ivan as a long time family friend. His kindness and generosity to people of all ages was so helpful to the younger group at the family outings he attended. He taught us to have the best time possible and provided so many entertaining stories! His legendary laugh and constant pursuit of fun are what stands out the most. We'll miss you, IJ!
