Jesus I hope not. He's very knowledgeable and I enjoy having him around, so hopefully he's still around.

Kenny, unfortunately, it is true. I meant to make a post about this the other day, but the forum went down right before I could. I emailed Jud to ask him something and his wife emailed me back to inform me that he passed away on April 15th. :icon_cry: RIP Jud, you will be missed.

Wow. That is terrible. He's definately going to be missed, but atleast he's riding the Great TGP in the Sky.

wow this is a surprise.  I hadn't seen him post in quite some time, just figured he was pissed at everyone!!  :laugh:  What a shame.  I never had any problems with the guy, he was a little rough around the edges but he was old school and I liked that.  RIP Jud.

Not to be morbid but what happened.  I feel for his whole family.  I did not know him very well but I read a lot of his posts.  Guys should get together and send the family some flowers..........My condolances.

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.

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!

Man they allways take the good ones.  I wonder if his posts could be collected and put into a seperate post or link i don't know but it might be very useful and at the same time make it efficent to see what kowledge could be used for us members i am sure he would have been honored by that.

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.
