I was sadled to learn of Judes passing.  Jude, Commanding Officer of NWEF was highly regarded by me and other NWEF civilian staff members here in Albuquerque.  Please be assured of our devoted effort in expressing my/our sympathy for Jude’s family.

This is a photo of Jude's A-7 (model) from his Commanding Officer tour in Attack Squadron VA-81.  It is mounted on an A-7 Vertical tail at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL.  The VA-81 model has Jude's name on the canopy rail.

His efforts and support played a vital role in making the A-7 Corsair II Kiosk a reality.  Because of his participation, both the A-7 and his own legacy will continue.

My condolences to Jude's Family and Friends.  May he have Fair Winds and Following Seas at his back as he joins our Lord!
Met Jude on the set of "Graves" we did a Veterans scene. However, we had a wonderful time exchanging Sea Stores, I was at Cecil Field and worked on the Corsair IIs in the late 60's as an AT in VA 37 & 87. 
Again, my condolences and hope this memory lightens your sorrows.

Chris-- We are with you and your family in this very hard time. Ken and I loved the times we got to chat with your dad--such a good man. May your hearts be held in hope. We miss you all. Love, Sallie and Ken
