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.
