By now I'm sure you are resting among the elite at peace. A spirit as full of love, humility, acceptance and humor deserves the best (especially after YEARS devoting your life to the world around you). Your soul, teachings & memories of joyess times will continue to live on.
God Bless your family, amazing guardian angel some lucky people gained. I hope they can feel your presence as the grieving process naturally takes it's own course.
With love,

To Rudy's family
My sincere condolences. I went to Sunnyside with Rudy. He was the most down-to-earth individual I knew back then. He didn't think himself above anyone else and talked to everyone in our class. The last time I saw him was at our 20th Reunion and he hadn't changed in the slightest. I'm sure he was welcomed by the angels and all our fellow classmates.

January 27, 2014

My deepest condolences to the family. Rudy was the best of friends to my brother Terry and I, during our Junior and Senior high school years and was in Priscilla and my wedding. Sorry Time and distance has kept us apart. God Bless!
