First, my condolences to the entire Rutherford family. I have known Jude for a long time and always enjoyed his company and his stories. He was always involved with some business. From cattle dealer in Ireland to entrepreneur in the U.S. his mind was always active to better his families opportunities in this country. He was the quiet man in the background when his family band was very active and he managed all the electronics. He and Joan were wonderful participants at several of our house parties many years ago and Joan played background music while Jude told me how glad he was to see my county (Kerry) lose an All-Ireland final. Jude and Joan were talents in their own right and produced more talent to be enjoyed in Rochester. Delighted to have known him and happy that he settled in Rochester. Jude, go neiri an bothar leat.
John and Tony,
I am sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. All the best to your family.
Deepest condolences to the Rutherford family … great memories of working with Jude at Delco and sharing Our Irish Heritage…. and family memories
