I met Judson around 2002 while working at Wegmans warehouse. We ended up going on a few vacations to nyc, Dominican Republic and Puerto rico. There is not one bad thing anyone could say about him he would give the shirt of his back if you needed. Rip Judson you will be missed.

My heart is breaking for your family. I had the pleasure of Judson´s company for many trips to the airport. He was always kind, professional and interesting to talk with. I had to cancel my last trip suddenly, due to an injury and he expressed sincere concern , while also making me laugh. Take good care during this painful grief journey.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Judson´s passing. We met years ago at church through my stepfather, Bishop Norman Roberts. Judson was truly kind, always greeting me with a warm smile that made me feel welcome. It´s rare to meet people these days who take the time to say hello, let alone do so with such genuine warmth. I´ll never forget his smile, and one day, I´ll look for it in Heaven.

I am so sorry to hear about Judson´s passing. We attended high school together. Though I was only there for 1 year, I remember Judson as a nice guy with a kind spirit. May he rest in eternal peace. To his family, you have my deepest condolences. I will keep you in my prayers. Sincerely, Stephanie (Pough) Smith
