JUDD, D. Allan - 83, passed away peacefully after a long illness on Sunday, July 1, 2007. He had recently celebrated his 58th wedding anniversary with his beloved wife, Ruth (nee Harpell), who survives him, together with their children, Ellen, Janet (Michael LeSarge), Brian, Margaret and Sharon (Geoffrey Dipple); grandchildren, Joseph and Benjamin Dipple, Erin, Paul, Anthony, Mary and Liza Herbert; great-grandchildren, Aya Herbert and India Frost; and his sister, Madeline Knox. Allan Judd was born in Kingston on February 18, 1924 and grew up in a loving foster family, coming of age during World War II, and served bravely in the Royal Canadian Navy during the Battle of the Atlantic. Subsequently, he attended Queen's University and graduated with a B.A. in 1950, and then attended the University of Toronto, where he studied the relatively new profession of social work and graduated with a B.S.W. in 1951. He joined the Children's Aid Society in Kingston in 1952 and worked in all areas of professional social work with children, especially in the north of Frontenac County. From 1955 to 1986, he served as Executive Director of the Kingston Children's Aid Society, working tirelessly in the interests of children and their families. He was innovative in expanding the range of care, generous in his work to improve the conditions of life in Kingston (especially in promoting public housing and homemaker services), and unfailing in his integrity and the demands he placed on himself. He was a loving family man and a person of active and varied interests, including gardening, fishing, astronomy and history. The family thanks the staff at Fairmount Home for their warm care during his final illness. Friends and family will be received at the JAMES REID FUNERAL HOME, CATARAQUI CHAPEL (1900 John Counter Blvd. at Highway 2) on Thursday, July 5, 2007 from 7 to 9 p.m., with a private family interment. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish may remember Allan with a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alzheimer's Society. 10724677
