He was a huge collector of comic books and baseball cards ever since he was a little kid and had a collection of over a 1,000 bobble heads. He enjoyed playing solitaire, Jeopardy and going to eat at Big G's every day.

Survivors include his wife, Cindy Judd; daughter, Misty Hart, of Ocala, FL; son, Clinton (Stacey) Judd, of Warsaw; six grandchildren, Cody (Jasmine) Judd, Brad (Emily) Bush Jr., Chaz Bush, Madison Hart, Carson Judd and Reagan Judd; a great-granddaughter, Aaliyah; and two brothers.
