He was blessed and most proud to be called PaPa Jud/PaPaw by his grandchildren who never knew what he'd do next to make them laugh. They'll be watching for signs that show you are forever watching over them. He loved to travel, cook, dance, enjoy the mountains of Colorado, ride his Harley, and share his expertise of survival and rifle skills. He was a protector of our 2nd amendment right to bear arms. He always carried a special place in his heart for POW/MIA.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff of the BR General Hospital Bluebonnet, 3rd and 6th floors and ICU. You are all angels.

PaPaw, you absolutely made an impression on all of your grandchildren. You are our hero for not only what you did on the battlefield, but for what you did when you came home. Welcome home! Semper Fi
