I found out today :icon_sad:.  What a great loss for the community, I doubt there is anyone who had asked for his help that he didn't help out, a true mentor for our community.

My condolences to his family.

1997 GTP  - 3.8 Blown - Too many mods to list.

got in contact with his wife,

Jud passed from lung cancer at the age of 66,  he was diognisosed just 7 weeks and 1 day before he passed away,

he said that he killed himself when he heard the news.

his wife will stay using his account,  and saysis any issues the car has will be brought up on here (their daughter is keeping the car and will treat it good)

so i guess a woman currently owns the the fastest tgp so far!

I just found this out today and I'm sad to hear of it!  :icon_sad:

Jud was a trailblazer in the TGP community.   He exchanged many helpful emails and photos with me to help me do my GT2871R conversion, particularly all the tricky plumbing on the hoses and fittings.  He was so eager to help and willing to answer my questions.  Nobody else had the kind of info and experience he did with getting everything to work together.

Really sorry to hear this, he is gone but not forgotten.
