Jud is preceded in death by one sister-in-law, Connie Kaye (Swigert) Thompson and his father-in-law and mother-in-law; Dr. Jack and Ruth Weinrich.

Jud graduated from Miami Trace High School in 1966. He worked a variety of places prior to working for United Parcel Service out of Wilmington and Columbus, Ohio. He retired in 2005 following 25 years of service to UPS. He and his wife then started Paint, Paper and More, a painting and wallpaper business that they discontinued during the pandemic.

He was a woodworker and made several beautiful pieces for family and friends. He and his wife loved camping and had a permanent spot for several years at the Lively Lady Campground in Aberdeen, Ohio. But his greatest love was his family. They all brought him the greatest joy. He will be greatly missed by many, but especially by his family.
