Rudy was an "honorary son" to Louis and Adlist and they are part of our extended family. Our children considered them grandparents and we had a very special relationship. We were amazed by his exceptional athletic ability - his perfect 300 bowling games and the skill to shoot a golf score equal to his age. He was wonderful to talk with and a very loving man. We will miss him dearly.
