Franklin Sale Judson ’42

Jud died of heart failure July 23, 2002, in Greenwich, Conn., where he had lived for the past 25 years. He retired in 1984 as president of Stroheim & Romann, one of the leading distributors of decorative fabrics, founded over 100 years ago by his great-grandfather.

Jud attended Exeter and graduated with high honors. He was a member of Quadrangle Club. After spending four years during the war, with the US field artillery in the Pacific Theater as a first lieutenant, he returned to NYC to join the family firm.

Jud was vice president, emeritus, of the League for the Hard of Hearing, serving for almost 50 years, and received the distinguished service award for 1989 from the New York Resources Council Board of Directors. A loyal and enthusiastic Princetonian, Jud served as class secretary for five years and was always involved in Reunion planning, especially in supplying costumes.

Predeceased by his son, Christopher, Jud is survived by his wife of 46 years, Colette, and three children, Michelle, James, and Jacqueline, to all of whom the class extends its most sincere condolences.
