Joseph "Snot" Kudla

I was so sorry to hear about Joe's passing. I knew him from the 1970's - both at the Renn Fair and from working with him in a production of Oliver! at CTC. I am sure he will be missed by many.

Mary, Mike and Angela,
May you find comfort in knowing that Joe touched so many people's lives. He loved being a Dad, performing, fundraising, teaching his students and playing NE.
With his funloving ways and that sparkle in his eyes, he just drew people to him. He had countless longlasting friendships. Joe-Bob was a NE boy at heart. When he sang Bob Marley's "Is This Love" doing Karaoke a Arone's, no matter what kind of day we had, it would lift everyone's spirits and we...

Our thoughts go out to you family and close friends! It seems that all of us made the trek to the Renaissance Fest mostly to see his show and of course with Mark. His death was the big news between friends and I've now had to share the news with others who have moved away from the Twin Cities. We once were at a silent auction and tried to get a signed aprons from Puke and Snot who were volunteering for the heart association - but others outbid us! It was great fun of course because they...

To the Kudla family - we are sorry for your loss. We saw Puke and Snot in the early days at the Renassance Festival when we sat on hay bales. We never forgot how fun it was to watch them. A few years ago we saw Joe as he played multiple characters in the play "The Baron" and we loved his performance and how he became the wrestling character he portrayed. It was wonderful - and hysterical. He will be missed.

Joe will surely be missed. I remember meeting him some twenty years ago at Arones. I also love watching him at the MN Ren Fest every year and had the pleasure of speaking with him for a nice long talk after one of the shows last year. He will surely be missed. My heart goes out to all who was a special part of Joe's life.

He touched so many lives. MRF will not be the same without him. God Bless and know that those that enjoyed him every year are thinking about you in this time of sadness.

Dear Mike, Mary and Angela --

Your brother, son and father was always a class act -- on stage and in real life. I was fortunate to have been a friend of his for many years, although for the past 15 years or so, I've probably only seen him a few times annually. Still, it was always a pleasure catching up with Joe and hearing how proud he was of Angela and learning what the old gang was up to. I feel fortunate to have had a good friend, like Joe, in my life. May fond memories of Joe...

I am sorry to hear of Joe's passing.
I knew his father from Ideal Bar.

To all of the friends and family of Joe Kudla. My family and I are HUGE fans of Puke & Snot, It will not be the same without Puke & Snot at the MN Ren Fest. I have talked to Joe each and every time we have gone to see them. Joe may the Angels take you home and may you keep people laughing in Heaven.
