I remember my mother taking me to Suburban Clocks when I was young. All the clocks and their ticking made it seem like a magical place. I only met Rudi a handful of times, when my mother drove us over to visit Joan, her friend from college. I remember Rudi being very kind and taking me around the shop showing me many of the beautiful clocks. I am so sorry for your loss and please know you and your family are in my thoughts.
