To the Jud Eichorn Family, I have known Jud since I was a young boy. My dad - Lyle - cut Jud's hair for many years. I heard many officiating stories over the years. I send my deepest sympathy and pray that God give you the utmost comfort during your time of grieving. God Bless... Posted by Butch Baer January 13, 2011

Dear Bev and family, I also worked with Jud at the Veterans Home, and enjoyed visiting with him. I didn't know you were no longer in Marshalltown, every time I go by your house on Summit Street I think of you. I'm so very sorry for your loss, my prayers and thoughts go to you and your family Bev. Judy Seffinga Posted by Judy Seffinga January 13, 2011
Family of Judd I worked with Judd at IVH in the late 70's. I had a lot of interaction with him on transports etc. He was a gem! He always brightened my day with his sardonic wit and laughter! Some people thought he was gruff but I thought he was a teddy bear! He reminded me of my own father. I am so sorry for your loss of a great man. Many prayers go out to you.

Bev and Family Thoughts and prayers are with you now as always. May God be with you all right now and know that Judd is where he will find perfect peace. Love to you all, Carol Posted by Carol Miner January 13, 2011
Beverly, I do not know if you remember me from many years ago at M'town. I graduated in 58 and worked at Pursel-Davis with Jud. That was many years ago but I have many great memories of Jud. I letf there in 62 and lost contact. My sympathy to you and your family. Posted by Lee Willim January 14, 2011
Beverly, You may not remember me. We both lived in apartments in the same house on N. 9th Street after we were first married. I had known Judd for many years. He was a very colorful individual. I am sorry for your loss. I am sure he will be missed. Posted by Ann McDonnell January 14, 2011
Bev and family, how sad to hear of Judd's passing. You had many wonderful years together, with such a great family. A memory I have of Judd is that he was an avid Yankees fan. I hardly ever met anyone who liked them (back in the 50's and 60's). However, after living in MN for over 40 years my allegiance has switched to the Twins. I remember telling this to Judd some years ago, feeling half guilty for being a traitor. He was always passionate about what he believed. My mom remembered (at age 95) the kind words Judd had for my father when he passed away. May God comfort you in these times of mourning. Posted by Judy Harvey January 15, 2011

I would love to hear from all of you David Posted by David W. Lutes February 27, 2011
