I am honored to say that Rudy was my friend. With his gentle nature and kind heart, I will treasure his friendship forever. May God Bless all of you in your time of such sorrow.

Art Caldwell

WOW, Rudy was a great friend to me!! Many times he made me feel worthwhile in a not so generous world.
We worked together, laughed together and had many hours of wonderful conversations and discussions.
Sometime's I'm a bit jealous of those who get promoted early! "To die is gain" takes on a whole new meaning when we know the "rewarder" is in control of everything! We, are at a loss, but his battle has been won.
Dare I say it? Congratulations RUDY! You made it!

Ed Meadows

July 31, 2007

Deepest sympathies from the Ed Meadows family. I can still invision Rudy's face when I last saw him and hugged his neck. I'm now looking forward to that day when we say hello and rejoice with the Lord. May God bless all of the Becton family and give you the peace that passes all understanding. With love, Ed Meadows

To the Becton family,

The sorrow for having lost Rudy is profound. But, in the days ahead, your deep sorrow will be surpassed two-fold: First, by the joy of having known him, and, second, by the assurance that that he now knows the ultimate joy of the divine embrace. My life is richer for having known Rudy as my friend. He was loved.

Thoughts and prayers,
Mark and Sandy Jordan
