He was the husband of Polly (Olsen) Judd. John worked at JB Hunt for over 20 years in the customer service department. He was a funny guy who was loved by everyone he met. He was always ready to help in whatever way he could. John enjoyed traveling with his family and has visited all the popular National Parks. He was an avid fan of the Beatles, which was the official music choice on all vacations. He was the favorite uncle and was dubbed a "second parent". He was always ready to go out to eat, especially to a Sushi restaurant, but would readily help with cleaning the kitchen when they ate at home. He was a skillful storyteller and talented singer. He was a great son and amazing husband. He will be missed by all.
