Rudolph James Valentino

Rudy was more than my mom's boyfriend- he was a friend, confidant, and the stepdad I always wanted. He told my sister and I that we were the daughters he never had, and he acted that way every day. We didn't have many adventures, our times were spent together on the living room couch, talking about everything from the dogs to Stephen King (our favorite author, one of the things that brought us so close). For Christmas last year, he got me 4 first editions of his favorite Stephen King novels,...

Rudy,

While I loved our adventures, it was your stories told with pure joy, optimism, and warmth which never ever failed. Anyone who had the pleasure, and for me the honor to know you will forever cherish your spirit.
You are loved

Rudy always knew how to bring the fun!

Gonna miss ya Rudy.
We worked together for a long time in this crazy business (24 years). So much madness and memories.
Thought we would have many more years giggin'
Can't believe your gone.
Love ya!

Gonna miss you Rudy.
We went waaayyyy back in this business.
Had great times together.
I am saddened and shocked that I won't get to sit with you as you crank up a stogy and tell stories of shows past.
Keep an eye on the rest of us from above as we carry on.
Love ya!

Rudy was a one of a kind. Always respectful and the nicest guy to work with. RIP, Rudy. You'll be missed!

Rudy was an amazing guy and a good friend. He will be missed by many. RIP Brother.

My heart and prayers are with the family. Rudy was such a great friend (adopted father) to me. He loved his life even though its been difficult at times but I will always cherish his smile, laugh, big heart and loving arms. His mommy raised him the right way and oh how he loved her so much.
Sorry I won't be able to attend his service but I will be thinking of you all. Just know he will be smiling down from above as I'm sure he's very busy reuniting with loved ones in his new Eternal...
