Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

To me as a kid john was bigger than real life. John and Jerry meant the world to my family. Loved them coming to the house or going to their house for a visit. Him and my dad Bill Avery was good friends. We called John, deputy dog .he thought that was hilarious... Rest in peace John

I love you and miss you so much.
Worst memory - watching you pull into the driveway, going out to see what was taking you so long to come inside. Have many best memories one of them is when I was upset because my best friends were teasing me that you were fat. Your response - tell them you have more daddy to love than they do. You were so right and I still do. I love you, pass it on to mom!

You were always my hero and, at 73, you are still my hero. I so looked forward to being able to talk with you when I came home. I still envy your sense of empathy, your ability to see the good in people (especially the young), and your dedication to your profession.
Thank you@

It is nice to see an article about Uncle Bob, even if it is sad and about his death. He passed away when I was 5. I do not remember much, except he was a cool policeman, and his death, how devastating is was for our family. Now as an adult, I, like Zac with I could thank him. He did a lot for my siblings and I after our mother passed in 1966.

Chief Judge was my favorite uncle. I lost my mother (sister of the chief) a few years before this happened. I was 7 when my mom died and I do not know how I would have coped without Uncle Bob, Aunt Gerry and my Judge cousins. He was loving and so kind. He called me Smiley. When we were together I would run into his giant arms and he would sweep me up and give me the best bear hug. He will always have a special place in my heart.

Love you so much!

I am very proud to say that John Robert Judge was my grandfather. I did not have the pleasure of meeting him, but it is obvious from the respect and memories I have seen in his children that I miss out on meeting a great man. I wish that I could thank him for his service and for raising his family with values we can all respect.

I was just getting ready to graduate from the California Highway Patrol Academy in 1969 when I remember one of my instructors relating the accident you had. I was just reading ODMP today and saw your name. It brought me back to Sept 1969. I'm sorry I didn't honor you sooner. God Bless you Chief.
