Sorry to hear of the passing of Rudolph, know that he had been ill for quite some time. I first met Rudolph about 15 years ago as he was the salesman calling on company where I worked in Cullman. He would always bring parched peanuts to our office. When I moved to Athens and married Bill Davis in 93, I was surprised to see Rudolph in local restaurants here.
My deepest sympathy to your family.
