It's been ten years since I worked with Rudi and four since I last spoke with him. I can't express in words how much regret I have on not connecting with him before he passed. He was a great manager, teacher, mentor, and friend.
Rudi, it was an honor and privilege to have had you in my life. This 'Meathead' will miss you dearly.

Linda, all of Rudys family and friends.
I am so sorry for your loss. I was so blessed to be able to be a friend after High School to Rudy. I did'nt see him much but when I did it was like we were the best of friends.We would run into each other in the stores and chat. I will never forget putting our 30 yr class reunion together with Rudy. We spent months working on it. Linda he was so blessed to have you as his wife, and the special bond he had with his sisters, brother inlaws, nieces and nefews. I know he loved you all so much. His close friends he would talk about and loved dearly. I am so happy that I was able to be one of Rudys friends and will never ever forget him.
