Asaph Edward Joudrey, of 623 Mill Street, Worcester, MA, died in 1978 in Fairlawn Hospital. Although he had been ill and wasn't expected to live long, he defied his prognosis and lived for about 25 years longer, to the delight of his family and doctors. He left his wife who he married on Saturday, March 23, 1918, so they had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Her name was Florence H. (Morrison) Joudrey. He also left several nieces and nephews; grandnephews and grandnieces; great-grandnephews and great-grandnieces. Mr. Joudrey was a member of First Congregational Church.

I know he had one sister, but don't know any more about his side of the family.

Funeral services were held in First Congregational Church, 1070 Pleasant St. Calling hours were at Caswell-King Funeral Home, 474 Grove St.; Burial was in Rural Cemetery.

Uncle Asa was a man of few words with a heart of gold. He was a master gardener and shared his produce with all of his neighbors and friends. He shoveled snow, mowed lawns, patched stone walls, trimmed hedges and did any other chores that he realized needed doing, for many of his neighbors. My son Danny, idolized him and followed him around often.

I've heard stories about him years ago raising chickens and putting little eyeglasses on them. He also had a pet skunk that he never had "de-scented" but never was sprayed, either. He really had a way with nature.

We miss him very much.
