Judge Pudlowski was an honorable man. I worked in the Clayton office of The Missouri Court of Appeals. I was Judge Crandall's Administrative Assistant for 10 years there. Judge Pudlowski always spoke of his family with such love and admiration. My deepest condolences to the family. He will be dearly missed by all....
