Although Jerry and Judy were no longer married, they remained great friends, enjoying all family events and holidays together, throughout the remainder of their lives.

Judy worked for Amtrack 15 years, from the early 1980’s through the mid 1990’s, which gave her the opportunity to travel to many wonderful destinations. She worked with people who she considered family. After retiring from Amtrak, she worked for the Employment Development Department in Redlands, California, until retiring, in 2002.
