A 1954 Teaneck High School Classmate of mine; one of the most beautiful young women in the entire class of 293 students, lucky to say that she and I dated each other in our Sophmore year at THS and she is someone who I will never forget. It was her sweetness, her beauty, and caring ways that distinguished her everywhere she went. Full of vivacity, cheerfulness and laughter—just impossible not to want to be in her company.
I didn’t see Judy again after our high school graduation in 1954 until our 50 th High School Reunion in 2004. I was stunned when I saw her at the Reunion because, for me, she had matured in beauty like a fine wine.
I was devasted to recently learn of her death in July, 2017 and also distressed to learn that all three of her siblings were deceased as well.
To Judy’s children and grandchildren, you have my deepest sympathy and compassion. You all, and everyone else whose life Judy has uniquely touched, have been blessed by her presence in their life. May you all find some peace and tranquility in knowing that she was loved by many..
