Justice, Hopefully

Friends of John Judge hope Thursday's arrest will provide closure.

As many of you are aware this past October, our family has suffered two very tragic heartbreaks.

One is John Judge, our dear Zio Tony's best-friend was struck and killed by an unknown driver crossing our family restaurant, Astro's Pizza and Felice's Ristorante. It's been months for the killer to be found.

Dear Tony, Lupo's, Stipanov's, and, mostly John's relatives, have been devastated. John was always at Astro's. Being new to the family, I didn't know him very well, but I did know he was an Astro's Regular and keep our Zio company on our slow days. For one, it was so sudden, tragic, for a human to take another life and simply have no remorse and run like it never happened.
