A native and resident of Lake Charles, Gary died Saturday, July 11, 2015 at Our Lady of the Lake in Baton Rouge. He was 75 years old. As a young man, Gary faithfully served his country in the US Army Corps of Engineers. Following this service, he continued his love for design and building as an architect in private practice in both Lafayette and Lake Charles for over 30 years. Most recently, Gary has utilized his talents as a senior architect for the state of Louisiana, combining his passion for Louisiana culture and architecture for the past twenty years. Gary’s love for family, sports, and southern culture found him cheering on his grandchildren, his Tigers, and his favorite local bands.
A true craftsman through and through, Gary prided himself on designs that last, including his large, loving family. He is remembered by his children, Cyd Ford, Cindy McVeagh, Cathy Tanner and her husband Ronald, David Judice and Sarah Judice, his brother, Pat Judice and his wife Gerry, his sisters Donella Judice and Linda Richardson. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Anna Ford, Alex McVeagh, Meghan McVeagh, Tristen Judice, Ethan Carnahan, Iris Judice, Reece Tanner, and his great grandchildren, Paige Ford LaCombe, Caidence Randol and Russell Randol II.
In true Cajun fashion, Gary is now two-stepping with his wife Faye. He also joins eternally his parents, Oswald and Corine Judice, sister Jeanne Gossen, and grandson Justin Ford. The Judice family extends their deepest appreciation to the doctors, nurses and staff at Our Lady of the Lake Hospital for their compassion and care during Gary’s final days.
