Irreverent but with an old-school moral code, a 70s man both ahead of and behind his time, the iconoclastic IBMer dispelled the “zipperhead” image, walking the two miles to work rain or shine, biked on the weekend, and spent the much “discussed” sum of $300 on a ride during an era when about the only other bicyclists on American roads were under 12.

Jim was born on October 5, 1953, in Johnson City, New York, and lived a life marked by hard work, loyalty, and a warm, steady presence that was deeply appreciated by those who knew him. He was the devoted son of the late Chester L. and Mary (Niznik) Judski, and he carried the values of family, responsibility, and perseverance with him throughout his life. He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Jeanie and Tim Walsh, as well as many special cousins, all of whom will remember him with love and gratitude.

Jim graduated from Newark Valley High School in 1971 and later attended Broome Community College, where he received his associate degree. The family farm was an intricate part of Jim’s early life and remained important to him well into adulthood. It shaped his character and helped form the practical, dependable man he became. He also became well known for his mechanical skills and his ability to repair and maintain almost any piece of equipment, including tractors, lawn mowers, and snowmobiles. Whether working on the farm, helping others, or solving a problem with his hands, Jim approached each task with patience, intelligence, and determination.
