Rudy and Karen were wonderful neighbors for the 17 years we lived in Hunters Woods. For the past several years I have missed Rudy's daily injection of humor into my life. Many fond memories of times spent at the WTL in Pete's garage. We've lost a dear friend. Our deepest sympathy to Karen, Greg and all family members. Tom & Sandy Davis, Louisville, Ky.
