I used to take a good customer to lunch all the time at Bill's. Georgene always enjoyed eating in the bar... and Judi was the sweetest, most pleasant bartender there ever was.... If everyone could be as enjoyable as Judi, we would have a perfect world. The other day, I was just talking about Judi and the enjoyable lunches we had in the lounge. So, she was in my thoughts for a reason...
Judi, all will miss you but we will remember you in our hearts and memories forever.

Judi, you were so good to me. Your sincerity, thoughtfulness and kindness made you one of my favorite people. The birthdays you never forgot, reserving "our" booth without prompting, arguing that the tip we left was too much, the little dance you did when you read the specials of the day,how you spoke of "your Jerry," your famous deviled eggs, your love of plays and theater, and tales of Casey...these are memories I'll cherish. Heaven just got a bit more classy! I'm sure going to miss you Judi.

I knew Judi from high school and kept in contact with her through the years. I moved away from Vancouver , but always went to Bills Chicken Inn to see her when ever I came to Vancouver. We had a lot of good times and she was a good friend. I will miss her. Rest in Peace Judi.

My dear, dear friend Judi...I will miss you soooo much. Always there with open arms, ready to help people in need with her giant heart and soul. Although she is gone from my sight; she will never be gone from my heart and wonderful memories. The night she left us here on earth she was saying her name over and over as if she had reached her final destination and was knocking on heaven's door letting her family and friends who died before her know she had arrived.
I love you Judi girl and will see you again someday...

Judi was such a sweet friend in high
school. I also remember the great
service she gave everyone at Bill's
Chicken Inn. I had no idea she was
there 36 years.When I came back into
Vanc to visit often friends and I would
go to have lunch. I don't think Judi
ever forgot a name. Aloha Judi
