Andrew Judd Obituary
Andy was born in Ohio to Donald S. and Margaret Judd. After an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, he earned undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Washington, Seattle, and received his PhD in accounting from the University of Florida.
Andy was a professor for 26 years at the University of Central Florida and director of the Kenneth G. Dixon School of Accounting for 11 of those years. As an educator and mentor, he was loved and admired by his students and his fellow UCF faculty.
Passionate about fishing, hunting, cooking, traveling and gardening, one of Andy's favorite adventures was an in-depth study of Turkish cooking and culture while traveling with his wife, Ann, across Turkey.
Andy was a witty and informative conversationalist who was energized by the exchange of fun thoughts, creative ideas, great books and new endeavors. Andy is preceded in death by his son, Thomas, parents Donald and Margaret Judd and brother Donald Judd, Jr. He is survived by his wife, Ann Crusius of Oviedo, daughter Megan Mecabe, sisters Carol Di Guilio and Sue Holbert (Thomas), and 4 grandchildren: Casey, Ashlyn, Noah and Evan Mecabe.
A Celebration of his Life by family and friends will be held on Thursday, May 5, 2022, in Oviedo.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a gift, in his name, to the Dixon School of Accounting Student Excellence Fund at the UCF Foundation. Gifts can be made online at www.ucffoundation.org or addressed to the UCF Foundation at 12424 Research Parkway, Suite 250, Orlando, FL 32826

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of my former UCF colleague, Prof. Andrew Judd. My many conversations with him over the years were always enjoyable, characterized by his charm, cordiality, and graciousness--as evidenced in the photo accompanying his obituary. A man of many interests and hobbies, he once injured his arm on a DIY project. As my liaison role was to support our faculty, he requested that I sit in on his next class to provide any needed help--distributing materials to students, setting up his computer presentations, etc. I gladly agreed to assist such a respected colleague. And the next time I saw him, he generously presented me with a bottle of Irish whiskey for my back-up. That was so Andy, always the consummate gentleman. I send my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all of his family.

Dr. Judd "gave me" my only B in grad school and he and I exchanged barbs about it for years. He was definitely one of a kind and will be remembered for his wittiness.

Dr Judd was one of my favorite UCF professors when I was a student in the early 1990s. 25 years later I had the pleasure of meeting up with him at Hagerty High girls soccer games, and he remembered almost every detail about me. Always smiling, always a positive word and a familiar face. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
