Not sure what to say?

A kind and generous man and talented artist.

I've written something to celebrate my 30 years in the mail with Jack: www.thenervousbreakdown.com/sbieler/2012/02/deja-vu-where-is-thy-sting/. I'm a better man for having known him. Plus look at all the fun we had!

Flowers for Rudi and Ofelia...

I corresponded with Rudi for many, many years, and will miss him terribly. He was a joyous and welcome presence in my mailbox and my life. My heartfelt condolences go to Pauline (Ofelia) and his family; he was a lovely, wonderful and creative man.

Jack was so many people's Most Unforgettable Character! We'll miss him so much...

One of the most interesting men I have ever met.

Rudi Rubberoid will always be in my thoughts. Mail art will never be the same as he was the icon of the art.
