Rudy and Laura were neighbors that you knew were there if you ever needed them. I regret that I did not visit with them as much as I could have. Laura and family, my prayers and thoughts have been for you and with you since Friday. Laura do not hesitate to contact me if I can do anything even if it is just a shoulder to lean on and cry with.

Rudy was one of the best engineers that I have ever worked with. His knowledge and ability to solve complex problems with practical solutions was uncanny. But what I will miss most about Rudy is that he was someone you could trust. He was a straight shooter that told you like it was -- the truth and nothing but the truth.
Rudy, I hope to see you again someday. We will share a cold one and talk about the good ol' days!

As an Engineer, Rudy was one of the best. He was well respected in the field of combustion heaters. Rudy was my friend, and we worked together for many years on many projects. He had a great knowledge of thermodynamics, mathmatics, and things mechanical. Rudy was a person one could count on to always have a story to relate to any problem or situation, work out solutions to problems and help make almost any situation cheerful. I have lost a great friend, and will remember him always. God speed, Rudy. I'll miss you.

Rudy was a joy to work with and fun to meet at Chevys. He never turned down anyone who needed help, and never made an enenmy. He helped his companies immeasureabley solving problems and improving designs. He will be missed.

I worked with Rudy for many years. He was full of energy and had a great work ethic. He was one of the smartest people I know. He always kept his sense of humor and helped me keep my sanity and sense of humor. I will miss him so very much. I know that he also did so much to help other people both in and out of work. A great person gone too soon.
