Rest In Peace dear friend, Rudy Robinson. Living so far away from D.C. and not staying in touch with you caused me & friends not to know of your death til 15-months later.

I just found out about Rudy's passing. I remember him coming to visit us in Lumberton, NC. We always exchanged Christmas cards. So sorry to hear about his passing. God bless the family.

So very saddened to learn of Rudy's transition. Had not been in touch with him for many years. He was a kind and gentle person and my family and I enjoyed many fun times with him back in the day. He was loved by so many and will be missed!! Always in our hearts, always in our prayers, forever in our thoughts.
