Jude worked as a mechanic throughout his entire life. Many would best know him from his years at Algoma Truck and Tractor and later Lafarge Canada, where he remained until retirement. Known for his strong work ethic, friendly nature and willingness to help others, Jude made friends far and wide wherever life took him.

A devoted family man, Jude cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. Much of his life was spent doting on his grandchildren, who brought him immense pride and joy. He loved camping and found true happiness relaxing at camp, surrounded by family, laughter and the outdoors.

With his family he shared countless road trips, camping trips and adventures, creating memories that will forever be cherished and remembered with love.

A man of deep faith, Jude lived his life with kindness, humility, generosity and devotion to his family. He found strength in his faith and was always willing to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement to those around him. His love for his family and his quiet strength will remain a lasting source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew him. Though our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we take comfort in knowing that Jude is now at peace in the presence of the Lord and reunited with loved ones who have gone before him.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the staff at Extendicare Maple View for their kindness, compassion, care and support shown to Jude and his family. The family would also like to express immense gratitude to his sister Louise for her unwavering care, love, devotion and support shown to Jude. Her compassion and presence brought great comfort to both Jude and his family during a very difficult time.
