Bill was born in Massena, NY but was raised in Nashville, TN. He married his high school sweetheart on August 12, 1977. He was honored to serve in the United States Air Force for 6 years as a Security Policeman. He was the owner of The Bill Judkins Company – Painting & Remodeling.
Bill was passionate about many things during his life: his family, his friends, his Tusculum Church of Christ Family and his school – Antioch High where he served on the Alumni board. He was an avid fisherman participating in many fishing clubs over the years.
He was a loving husband, a devoted father, an adoring grandfather, a caring brother, and a loyal friend.
Bill enjoyed many hobbies throughout his life. He loved basketball and played weekly with his Thursday night crew for many years. He adored music, spending countless hours playing guitar or curating the perfect playlist.
He was a man with Orange blood through and through; he loved his Tennessee Vols. Go Big Orange! You could often find him making friends as he loved to talk to people, share his stories, and provide a laugh. He could always be counted on to remember “useless facts” as he called them. His memory was unrivaled. He had a quick-wit and always had a witty comeback at the ready. He also enjoyed spending time on his houseboat with his family and friends.
Above all, Bill loved life and cherished every moment. While fighting for his life, he said, “I never knew so many people loved me.” And we all did.
Bill Buddy – we’ll always miss you, but we’ll keep you in our hearts.
