He achieved the rank of sergeant with numerous awards and medal. Some of Judd's best times were spent playing his guitar, mandolin and banjo with his family and many friends. He was a talented musician and will be remembered as one of the best pool players in the county. A wonderful husband and father, he will be incredibly missed, and always remembered.
