Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025.
Beloved husband of Mary Judd (nee Winter); loving father of Ryan (Lauren) Judd, Rory (Courtney) Judd, and the late Richard “Richie” Judd; adoring grandfather of Parker, Madelyn, Ellie, and Payton; dear son of the late Al and Ida Judd; dear brother of Betty (Bud) Cohn and the late Robert “Bob” (Donna) Judd Sr.; dear cousin of Luke (Phyllis), John (Colleen), and Matthew Koebbe; our dearest brother-in-law, uncle, great-uncle, great-great-uncle, cousin and friend to many.
A devoted husband for over 50 years, Rich was a steady and loving presence in his family’s life, sharing countless memories with his wife, Mary. Together, they raised three sons, all of whom attended Christian Brothers College High School and had the unique privilege of having their father as their math teacher. Of course Rich enjoyed being the father of all boys, but becoming a grandfather brought him a whole new sense of joy—especially when he was blessed with four granddaughters. He loved attending their music programs and sporting events.
A proud Hall of Fame alumnus of CBC High School in St. Louis, Rich carried the spirit of the school with him throughout his life. He went on to earn both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from St. Louis University, where he nurtured his passion for mathematics and education.
For over 40 years, Rich dedicated his career to teaching math at CBC, shaping the minds of countless students with an unwavering commitment to their success. Beyond the classroom, he coached track, football, and swimming, inspiring student-athletes with his leadership and encouragement. His love for CBC athletics extended beyond coaching, as he spent countless hours running the scoreboard at sporting events, keeping stats, and cheering on the Cadets at football and basketball games. He also volunteered tirelessly at the annual school auction and golf tournament, supported various fundraisers, and remained an integral part of the CBC community.
Rich stayed active throughout his life, refereeing boys’ and girls’ high school soccer games for nearly 40 years. He played softball with church friends, and he also played soccer on Sundays in Fenton with a group of friends for as long as he was physically able. He even went on several trips to cities such as Wilmington, Boston, and San Diego with his soccer team for the annual Veteran’s Cup. In his retirement years, he spent a lot of time playing golf with neighbors and friends.
Beyond his love for sports, Rich was an avid reader and enjoyed doing crossword puzzles. He was a fan of game shows, especially Jeopardy. He was always up for a trivia night, where he could showcase his knowledge on a variety of topics.
Rich’s dedication to his family, friends, students, and community left a lasting impact. He will be remembered for the lessons he taught and the support he gave to those around him.

My condolences to the Judd family.
To a good friend, an end to suffering. May he rest in peace forever.
A great person to be with. For me, mostly on the Over (everything) soccer in Fenton. So sorry to lose him. Prayers for his soul and for the family
A wonderful brother-in-law for many years. Fun playing trivia with him and Mary Ann over the years. Will miss him, but glad he is no longer suffering. May he rest in peace.
My big brother was very special to me!
I have so many great memories growing up together in Maplewood. Too many for this page
Living in Colorado, our connection was mostly by phone But always loving!
As I cry over losing him I feel so sure he is at peace in heaven with our God
Maureen & I have known Rich and Mary since the late 70’s. They were always “good people” and fun to be with. We traveled to several parts of the country for Soccer Tournaments with them. Rich has certainly had his share of pain thru the years. Now he is pain free.
Sending prayers for the family. Enjoyed my time with Rich at the CBC football games when my nephew’s played there, but most of all our time playing pick up soccer games. He will be missed.
Rich was a wonderful teacher who became an even better friend long past my days of attending CBC. Condolences to Mary, Ryan, Rory and the entire family. Rich’s spirit lives on through all who knew him.
I was saddened to hear about Rich’s passing. He was such a kind and thoughtful neighbor. I’ll remember his quiet acts of service (like bringing in my trash cans when I forgot), even when he was battling cancer, it spoke volumes about the kind of man he was for his community and his family. May he rest in peace. And Mary, I’m just a few steps away if you need anything. My deepest condolences.
Rich was a good friend and teacher. Many great memories through the years. My condolences to the family.
My condolences to the Judd family.
I was privileged to have been a colleague of Rich’s at CBC. He was a multi talented individual that touched the hearts of his students and his fellow educators.
May God bless him and his family.
We will miss our long time neighbor and friend. Rich and Mike played golf for many years. Fond memories. Our condolences to Mary, Ryan, Rory and their families.
Rich was a dedicated professional who taught and coached at CBC High School for 40+ years.
I was privileged to spend many of those with him. He was always available to help whenever and wherever he was needed. Rest in Peace.
My condolences to the Judd family. I was a student at CBC in the late 80’s and was in his math class. He was a great teacher and he will be missed.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Mr, Judd, who loved CBC.
A colleague and friend. Rest in Peace Rich. God bless.🙏🙏
My prayers to the family for their loss. I haven’t been in touch with Rich or the family in years, but I remember what a good guy he was. Peace be with you in the Lord.
A kind gentleman, Mr. Judd taught me algebra in ‘71-‘72 and was a fellow faculty member from ‘91-92. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends.
My Sincere Condolences to the Judd Family,
May God Bless you and comfort you. May Rich remain in Gods eternal Grace.
Condolences to the Judd family.
Rich not only taught me algebra but he became a good friend as i got more involved at CBC. He and his co -heart, Bill Belcher where always there getting the concession stands ready for football and soccer games since my wife and I could not be there to get things going. I think it really was due to me bribing them with free hot dogs and cokes.
This is a great loss to our CBC community.
Rest in peace my friend.
Mr. Judd taught me algebra and calculus. He inspired in me a love for mathematics and greatly influenced my decision to become a math teacher.
Great guy! Very approachable and appreciated CBC teacher, coach, and other duties at Clayton campus early 70’s.
RIP Mr. Judd.
B.T. Walsh ‘73
Uncle Rich was one of the most intelligent men I have ever known in my life. He was so very supportive of his children and family. He was a dear friend and I cherish all of the discussions that we used to have and I valued his thoughts and opinions on every subject. He is a prime example of what a great husband, father, grandfather, Uncle and so much more to all of us. He will be immensely missed!!
Very sorry to hear.
Rich was super dedicated to CBC.
He was always available to help whenever and wherever he was needed.
Condolences and prayers for the Judd family. I had Mr Judd for freshman algebra in 1964.
It was a fun class and he was a great educator.
Lots of great memories from swim team.
God speed coach.
Rich, his wife, Mary, and sons, were neighbors of the McKee boys in Crestwood for many years. We always enjoyed our Judd family visits and discussions of our special CBC days on Clayton Rd. RIP, Rich, and condolences to the grieving Judd family.
—Ed ‘62, Mike ‘66, Terry ‘69 & Pat ‘77
Rich and Mary became family when our daughter, Courtney, married their son, Rory.
We have shared many special times together, especially after our granddaughters were born.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mary, Ryan, and Rory. May Rich rest in peace.
I was taught by Richard and I also had the opportunity to teach with him. I always appreciate his dedication to teaching and helping individuals. A Brothers boy and mentor. Joe Pecaut ’76
