RUDOLPH NEUSER

Many summers spent with Rudy and Shirley camping at little Naches sending love and prayers to the Neuser family.

I wish to express my sincere condolences to Shirley (my aunt) and my cousins Andy, Cindy and Kris, as well as their offspring, at the passing of a true original, a unique character larger than life, my Uncle Rudy. By a twist of fate, I ended up working as a deckhand on Rudy's boat, the F/V Shirley N, in July 1973. It was my first real employment (at age 13) and while at first my parents were opposed, the event turned out to be a true turning point in my own life. Fishing was good but we...

Dear Shirley and family, Dad just returned from your home and called to tell me about Rudy. I am so sad. I loved Rudy and I love you Shirley. You know that many of my childhood memories are of both of you. Even I was his little canary. Who could forget Rudy's milkshakes, smoked salmon, or clam chowder? I will always cherish my video of Rudy telling me how to make his chowder. I will never forget the drama of moving the pool table into the basement of the Dash Point home, the night Dad and...

Shirley and Family,
Our prayers are with you at this time.
We have seen Carol a few times but it has been years since we have seen you and your family. I remember Rudy and the good times we use to have getting together at the great-aunt and uncles for holidays or birthdays. We have been able to visit Sis at the Foss home several times, but miss the celebrations with Signe, Solveig, Astrid (my grandmother)and Inge and the rest.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and in the...

Dear Shirley and family: How the years go by . The family crew of the Shirley N with Rudy and you at the wheel was a union dedication, love and understanding that infected all that knew you both . That time on the waterfront with people like you , Art Johnson , bob Mccool and others made a big difference in the life of a young fisherman growing up . Thanks for all the memories David , Ginny and Kate Larson

Shirley and all Rudy's family - we send our love in these days. Sis would love to share her greetings as well, but she has been at the Foss Home in Seattle after she broke her pelvis in November. (She is doing much better!) But she was so sad today when I told her about Rudy. She said, "We all grew up together and had so much fun." I am sorry none of us can join you tomorrow, but you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I'll miss you Uncle Rudy. You had a way of making me always feel special. I hold dear my special little nickname. Love Mary Marie

Shirley, Just a quick note to tell you, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Bev Corwin
