Mayer B. Rudman

"Duke" Rudman...what a gentleman you were. You left such an impact on me. I loved the way you loved life. We met around 1995/96 when I worked for the City of Tyler. We were dedicating a piece of land Mr. Rudman had donated to the city for a walking trail--named after his mom Rose Rudman. I so admired you and your colorful personality. I only wished that I could have gotten to know you better. May you reach heaven & your soul rest in peace.

To the Rudman Family,

Thinking of you today with deep and sincere Sympathy

Mr. Mayer “Duke” Rudman, Thank You, for the opportunity to be one of your caregivers. You have graciously passed down a legacy of kindness and integrity. Your kindness and love for us while we cared for you will never be forgotten. You will continue to live in our hearts.
Sincere Thanks,
Ruby Gamble, RN

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Rudman was a great man, kind to many and keenly interested in the less fortunate. Our family will miss him very much.

Duke:

Since I was a child, I was always told that you were the Wildcatter’s Wildcatter. When I grew into an oil man in my own right, I came to recognize that you were the one I had to sell in order to prove myself as a worthy oil man. I turned one of my first oil trades to you and it was truly a turning point in my professional career - I will never forget it. While the project turned out to be a dry hole, your willingness to bet on ME proved to be an ultimate gusher in so many...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

Duke was a GREAT FRIEND and a SUPER Mentor!!!
I have so many memories of GREAT TIMES with him. I will cherish him and those memories forever.

His impact on our lives was legion. We all were enriched by having crossed paths with Duke.
Condolences to the family.

Miss you Duke. It is the end of an era!

Thanks for all of the great advice in business, exercise and life in general. My protege's skeleton watch gift was very kind. Traded many back walking sessions with you over the years. Glad I got to take you to the top of the 11,000'Hidden Peak on the tram running in the beautiful mountains around Dick Bass's resort Snowbird, in Utah. We used to drive(I always did the driving) in the silver Lincoln to Ft. Worth to see your dentist and to Tyler to...
