Retired or not, the proper formal salutation should read: Honorable Walter K Smith Dear Sir:
A retired judge can be referred to as "Judge [Last Name] (Retired)" or simply as "Retired Judge [Last Name]."

You can address the envelope to a retired judge by using their full name followed by "Retired Judge" on the line below, and then their mailing address. For example: "John Doe Retired Judge 123 Main Street Anytown, USA."

When addressing a greeting card to a judge and his wife, you should address the judge first with their official title, such as "Honorable [Full Name]".

It is important to show respect and proper etiquette when addressing individuals with official titles.
