In Loving Memory of Aunt Judy
Veronica and I are so deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our beloved Aunt Judy, whose vibrant spirit and generous heart touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Judy loved many things in life—Robert Redford, a perfectly made martini, cheering on her Kansas City Chiefs, and shared our affection for Ragdoll cats. But above all, she loved the people around her, and she made each of us feel at home with her infectious smile, quick wit, and remarkable gift for putting others at ease.
Some of my fondest memories include summer nights at the drive-in movies when we were young, her taking me back to school at Penn State on several occasions and the laughs we had on the long drive up there from Jersey, and of course the unforgettable summer between college and law school when she let me borrow her car—and trusted me even after I managed to blow out the engine. Her laughter, her sense of adventure, and her forever-young spirit will remain with us always.
On behalf of Veronica, Tristan and Casey, our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to her devoted husband, Alan, and to her loving siblings, Sally, Dave, and Chris. May the memory of Judy’s joy, humor, and unwavering love bring comfort to all who mourn her.
Her nephew Steve

Judy has been in my life since 3rd grade. Then became my boss in 2012 at CJ MANAGEMENT. It’s like our lives have intertwined with each other. I will miss her deeply.
