Sorry for your loss. Rudy was a wonderful man, he could always bring a smile to someone’s face.
We will miss Rudy at our Vets meetings. He always left us with humor at the end and he always had a lot to share. He was a wonderful person and all of his comrades at the VA will miss him. Thanks for all you did for us, Rudy !
Marlene & Family,
So sorry to hear about Rudy’s passing. Rudy was wonderful man to everyone he met. I always enjoyed Rudy and his jokes and stories. I remember seeing him with his stack of jokes a inch thick. That was our Rudy! I know that Marv, Rudy, Jerry and Brad and all the old Emerald boys are up in heaven now having a blast. Rudy was one in a million! He will be truly missed.
Sincerely

Rudy was certainly on of a kind! He was one of the greats and will definitely be missed by all. It was a pleasure knowing him as long as I have and my parents before me. So many great stories from him over the years, and so many raffle tickets over the years as well…. From my family to yours Rudy.
