Lawrence Reginald Judd, Sr of Holland, Vermont died peacefully in his sleep on July 21, 2024 at his home. He was the Patriarch of the Holland branch of the Judd family. If you knew him, you knew he didn't often go by his given name of Lawrence or Larry. He answered to many names, Arch or Archie being the longest used, as well as George, Henry, Dad, Pops, Grampa and Great Grampa. He was born to Harold and Fleda Judd on September 29, 1937, in Derby Vermont. He served in the Army from 1957-1959. He married Mabel (Sykes) in 1956 and they spent many years together before he lost her in 1996. In the early years of their marriage, he had a milk route, and also hauled logs. He also worked on various local farms. He spent time working as a carpenter. He could do most anything he set his mind to. He and Mabel bought their farm in Holland in 1969 where they both spent the rest of their lives. They worked side by side on the farm where they raised their six children. The cows were sold in 1988. At that point he leased his farmland as he would never have allowed it to go fallow. After selling the cows, he once again worked for area farmers.  He had a love for his land and was proud of what it could produce, whether it was feed for his cows, maple syrup for his family and others, or logs to saw out for projects.  In later years, he and his brother-in-law Russell Sykes bought a portable sawmill and moved from place-to-place sawing lumber for others. Arch wasn't one to just sit around, he generally kept quite busy. He was an avid hunter and bagged many deer over the years. He taught all his children the rules of hunting, even his daughters. He served the Town of Holland as Selectman, Fence Viewer and Pound Keeper.

He was predeceased by his wife, Mabel Sykes Judd, his son Keith Judd, grandsons Adam Judd and Matthew Lyon. He was also predeceased by his parents, Harold & Fleda (Carter) Judd, his sister Pauline Judd, brothers, Harold Judd, Jr (Timer), Kenneth Judd (Pete), Reginald Judd (Honey), Dwight Judd (Shine).

He leaves behind his brothers Mike Judd and Winston (Skin)Judd. He is survived by his children: Larry and his wife Diane, Donna and her partner Jim, Bruce and his partner Christine, Lisa and her partner Dave, Glenn and his wife Mickey. He is also survived by several grandchildren as well as many great grandchildren.
