Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts over this past week, it has meant alot. We had a celebration of life planned a year ago for when this day came and due to Covid restrictions it would hold off to only be attended only  by family members, Judd would not have wanted this, a much larger celebration would be his request, so we are holding off until that can happen, thank you all on the behalf of my brother for your support over the years, will keep you posted
