Goodbye New York's Rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
It seems to us you lived your life
like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along New Yorks peaks and valleys
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Lovliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our mom, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend
You being gone brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought through the years.
Rejoice!!! You are finally home!!!!!!

Harry Mills Judge, MD
Albany, NY
Harry Mills Judge, MD age 82, died on Thursday, December 22,
2005 at Albany Medical Center Hospital. Harry, known to his
patients, friends and admirers as “Doc,” was born
in Albany on November 10, 1923 to Cornelia Knower Mills and
Dr. Harry Vincent Judge and lived in Albany his entire life.
He grew up in Albany on Providence Street with a group of friends
that has stayed together for more than 80 years. A graduate
of the Albany Academy (1941) and Dartmouth College (1945), he
received his medical degree from Albany Medical College in 1947,
and took an internship in internal medicine at the hospital
the following year. Harry completed his residency in ophthalmology
at the Manhattan Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital in New York
City and was a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Harry began his private medical practice with his father in
1953. He operated the practice for nearly 40 years and after
he “retired” continued to work for the Veterans
Administration Hospital and the New York State Police, as a
Professor at Albany Medical College and with Dr. Aaron Kassoff
at The Eye Center at Memorial Hospital. He tirelessly contributed
his time and energy to many organizations, foremost among them
the Northeastern Association of the Blind at Albany. He served
on the Board of Directors for NABA for many years and started
NABA’s Low Vision Clinic, which carries his name. In 1963,
he was one of a group of Albany physicians who provided free
medical care for five weeks to the residents of war-torn Algeria
as part of a joint United Nations/CARE/Medico effort. This was
a life-altering event for Harry and one of which he was justifiably
proud.
Harry was a third-generation summer resident of Martha's Vineyard.
He loved the natural beauty and serenity of the island and spent
much of his time there indulging in his passion for bird watching.
His interest in ornithology took him, along with his son, Timothy,
on a bird watching trip to the Galapagos Islands. He was a member
of many area bird watching groups, including the Hudson Mohawk
Bird Club. Harry was also an amateur musician and played the
drums from an early age with numerous local bands. His love
of music, especially Dixieland Jazz, drew him as recently as
this year to Wilmington, NC, for the Annual North Carolina Jazz
Festival. In addition to drumming, he loved singing and joined
the Mendelssohn Club of Albany in 1959. Harry was a tireless
storyteller and a master of limericks, both delicate and ribald.
He possessed an insatiable curiosity about everything and never
tired of investigating something new. Harry was a kind and gentle
man who led by example. His compassion for others, his quiet
commitment to service and his love of life are the gifts that
he has left for his family and friends. Harry will be greatly
missed and never forgotten.
Harry was the loving husband of his cherished wife of 52 years,
Mary Walsh Judge. He was the beloved father of Elaine Gatti
Procopio and her husband Joseph, of Chapel Hill, NC; Diana Gatti
Wong and her late husband, Daniel, of Rochester, NY; Kathleen
Anne Carlton and her husband McDonald, of Albany; Mary Cornelia
Judge of Feura Bush, NY; Harry Mills Judge, Jr. and his wife
Cheryl of Albany; and Timothy Knower Judge and his wife Paula
of Sleepy Hollow, NY. He leaves behind 11 wonderful grandchildren:
Joseph, Michael and Peter Procopio, Diane Procopio Todd; Elaine,
Anne Marie, Daniel and Michael Wong; Ian McDonald Carlton, Samantha
Emily DeCola Judge and Allison Erin DeCola Judge; and three
great grandchildren.
