Harry Judah

Noah Harry Judah, known to all as Harry, was born on November 1, 1944, in Tampa, Florida, and passed into eternity on April 10, 2026, in Melbourne, Florida.    Harry was the devoted husband of Bobbie H. Judah (née Short), with whom he shared 60 years of marriage. Bobbie is originally from Norton, Virginia, and together they made their home on Merritt Island, Florida, where they resided since 1966.    Harry dedicated 50 years of professional service to the United States space program, working as a satellite telemetry expert. His career reflected exceptional technical skill, reliability, and quiet pride in contributing to America's space exploration efforts over five decades. Simultaneously, he was actively involved with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). Harry served with distinction as both local president and business manager, advocating for fellow workers with integrity, fairness, and steady leadership.    Harry also served in the United States Army, an experience that helped shape his lifelong sense of duty, service, and responsibility.     Harry gave generously of his time to youth development through the Boy Scouts of America, where he served as Scoutmaster of Troop 343. Through his guidance, leadership, and example, all three of his sons achieved the rank of Eagle Scout, a source of considerable pride to him.    A lifelong Southern Baptist, Harry's faith was a steady foundation of his life, guiding his values, actions, and devotion to family and community.    Harry is survived by his wife Bobbie; his sons, Samuel A. Judah and David B. Judah, both of Merritt Island, Florida; and his grandchildren, who were a constant joy and enduring legacy.    Harry will be remembered as a faithful husband, a dedicated father and grandfather, a respected professional, a mentor to many, and a man whose life was defined by service, conviction, and quiet strength.    A memorial service will be held on April 17, 2026, at 6:00pm at Beckman-Williamson funeral home, 5400 Village Dr, Rockledge, FL 32955

He will be laid to rest in Powell Valley Memorial Gardens at Big Stone Gap, Virginia at a later date.
