Arthur S. Judd, Jr., 92, of Derby, VT, passed away on August 23, 2023, in Newport, VT.  He was born on March 10, 1931, in St. Albans, VT, the son of Arthur, Sr. and Ethel (Tirrill) Judd.

Arthur was a graduate of Derby Academy, class of 1949.  While attending Derby Academy, he was a member of the basketball team and played the clarinet and saxophone in the orchestra.  He was also a member of the Star Dusters band, which played at local venues.

Arthur was a United States Air Force (USAF) veteran and spent time in England, while serving during the Korean War.  After serving in the USAF, he went to school in Boston, MA, to train for Refrigeration repair.  His decision to change careers led him to banking.  During his early years in banking, he attended Stonier Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University and was president of the Vermont Chapter of the American Institute of Banking.  In the later years, he was elected president of the Vermont Bankers Association.  During his 33-year career in banking, he held several positions, the last of which was the president of Community National Bank, a position he held for many years.  After retiring from the bank, he opened an antique shop.  He was active in his community and enjoyed taking part in church functions and serving on various boards and committees (church, hospital, and school).  He was a member of the American Legion Post 21, Lions Club, and Masons.

Arthur had a playful and adventurous spirit.  He enjoyed taking fishing trips, flying to remote lakes in Canada with his sons and friends; fishing the Indian Stream area in Pittsburg, NH, with his father and sons; and fishing on Lake Seymour with his grandchildren.  For many years, he enjoyed hunting at Camp 57 with many of his friends.  In 1967 he and his father set up their own hunting camp.  He enjoyed travelling - whether it be in the United States or to other countries.  He, also, enjoyed playing cards and golf, dancing, skiing, and watching baseball on tv.  His hobbies included collecting antiques, coins, and stamps.  He was willing to try new things like whitewater rafting, canoeing the Allagash River in Maine (twice), building a log home from a kit, and making dandelion wine and maple syrup.  He loved and enjoyed spending time with family and friends, often entertaining them at the cottage on the lake, boating, building campfires with his grandchildren, and telling funny stories.  So many wonderful memories created, so many wonderful adventures/experiences had.

On May 28, 1955, he married Carol A. Soutiere, who predeceased him.  He was also predeceased by his son, Colin, and his first wife, Wendy, and great-grandson, Milo Jewell.

On January 9, 1998, he married Carolyn Rowell Therrien, who survives him.  His stepson, Steven Therrien, also predeceased him.

He leaves his children Scott Judd and his wife, Debbie, of Grafton, NH; Kevin Judd of Egg Harbor Township, NJ; and Carol Griffin of Havelock, NC; daughter-in-law Ann-Marie Judd of Sharon, VT; grandchildren Aleah Judd, Rease Judd, Hunter Judd, Jessica Griffin McQuaig, Kylee Griffin, Cody Griffin, and Morgan Judd; and great-grandchildren Trevor and Connor McQuaig, Cosmo Tsolakidis, and Merida Griffin.

He, also, leaves sister-in-law Marilyn Taplin; stepson Kenneth Therrien, and his wife, Marcia; stepdaughter Lynda Sheltra and her husband, Jack; step daughter-in-law Luann Therrien; step-grandchildren Andrew Therrien, Jeremy Therrien, Jacob Therrien, Cassandra Graham, Jennifer Graham, Seager Therrien, and Baily Therrien; and step-great-grandchild Paxton Therrien.
