I just now saw that Judy passed away in August 2023 at Menorah Park. I have a cousin at Menorah Park and wished I knew she was there, as I would have visited her. Funny how you just lose contact after years go by. I worked with Judy at the Eastwood office of Syracuse Savings Bank in the 80's. She was a joy to work with and we had many laughs. Of course, I also knew Mel from SSB, as well and remember that she came to work with us after his passing. So glad she did. When I was in the hospital for surgery in 1994, Judy and Brenda Hamernick visited me. I am very sorry for your loss and extend my sincere sympathy to all of Judy's friends and family.
