We are heartbroken. Rudy was a very dear friend, and we will miss him. He had a big heart, and a wonderful sense of humor. He always called both me and my daughter on our birthdays, without fail. We worked together at RMD before he retired, but we always kept in touch. We will miss him tremendously. The Prada family is in our thoughts and prayers. We love you Rudy. Rest in peace.

I feel a great sadness. I did not know Rudy in his personal life, but I met him through the church. He was a man with an enormous heart. Two years in a row he brought me some of his home made salsa. I recorded a CD special for him I called it "Quieren Queso" and another of the "Rosary. It makes me very, very Sad, but as my Grandson said when we prayer at the church. He is in heaven and in peace. Bless His Family and all who loved him. "You paved your road with kindness".

I am both shocked and saddened to learn of Rudy's passing. May the Lord be with the Prada family during this difficult time. I also worked with Rudy at RMD when I began my career in State Government, and him and I quickly became friends. Me and a few of my co-workers at the time gave him the nickname Rude Dog. He was a great man with a huge heart and was very giving, but only a select few got his famous salsa, which I was fortunate to have received. Rest in peace Rude Dog!
