R.I.P. My lil buddy, Your brother in Christ, Jude was a friend indeed who always had a smile and a word of encouragement! He will be missed by all who knew and loved him here on earth but will be at home with the ones who have gone on before him,,,
Jude was a dear family friend and best buddy with my father Don De Witt. He was a fun and “crazy uncle” to we three De Witt girls. We’ll cherish the memories of 4th of July birthday celebrations for my dad and the multitudes of other get togethers. I wish I could post a photo! We love and miss you Jude. Give Juanita and Baby a big hug from us!
