Edward Michael Rudy

I was unable to attend the service for Eddie because I heard about it too late, but I wanted to express my condolences. I first met Eddie in 1981. He was like an older brother who took me under his wing. He taught me how to ride motorcycle then and we went on several trips together after that. We had alot of laughs on these trips and we were known as the guys with the water guns. I hadn’t seen Ed in a few years but when we connected it seemed as though time had stood still for us. It seems...

Although I only knew Ed for a short time, I am very saddened by Ed's untimely passing. He was always willing to help a new friend in any way possible. While working with him in California his hotel room became a hub for after hour activities and celebrations. He was a pretty good BBQ cook as well. I am sending my deepest condolences to his wife and son.

I have worked with Ed for several years. I interacted with him quite a bit when I worked in the accounting department and was processing expense reports. He was always pleasant to work with. He would always go out of his way to help others so it came natural to do the same for him. I remember Ed coming into my office to tell a quick joke or to just say hello. He always had a smile on his face and it was contagious the way he could make others smile. Ed will be greatly missed and my prayers go...

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Ed played a big part in my initiation into the world of consulting field engineering. I sensed Ed was something special when I started to know him, and the more I interacted with him the more obvious that became. I really appreciate how he took me under his wing as I got started in this business, making sure I had fun along the way. He impressed me with his ability of forging and nurturing contacts with our clients. And he did so just by being himself. He...

As someone else mentioned on this guestbook, Ed was the kind of guy that even if you didn't spend much time with him you felt as if you had known him for years instantly. In the 3 years I have been with Parsons the times Ed and I crossed paths were few and far between, but whenever he was in the office it was almost impossible not to know it! My most vivid memory of him is coming into the copy room and telling me to drop all my work (no matter how busy I was) because he wanted to go take a...

Jennifer,

Sometimes in life our paths cross with people for just a little while, but the imprints they make on our hearts last a lifetime and beyond. Ed left an imprint on my heart with his smile and approach to his work and life that I will surely carry for eternity. I was fortunate to be the office manager at Parsons ES in the early 90's when Ed was hired and I remember his enthusaism and energy quite well. My heart aches for you and the rest of his family. May the Lord be...

I found out about Ed on Friday and I am so sad for your loss. We worked together at Parsons for a couple of years before I left and found Ed to be a very warm, generous and extremely humorous friend. I have lost very close friends and a Brother in my life under the same circumstances. I found that it is the very best memories are what I choose to think about on such times and Ed provided me with many of those moments during the short time we worked together. I will remember those times with...

Jen&Family,I'm stunned and saddened.Eddie was my good pal at Lederle for years.Saw your picture on Eddies desk a thousand times.We had great times!I'll never forget that smile!He will be in our hearts forever!

We only had the opportunity to know Ed for a short time. My husband Doug worked on a job with Ed last fall. He would often come home telling me about this "really nice guy" he was working with. One time Ed thought that Doug was upset with him about something on the job, and Ed showed up the next day with a box of chocolate eclairs. I'm sure the eclairs were long gone before Doug finally told Ed that he wasn't really mad at him. I had the opportunity to get to know Ed a little bit when he came...
