Tony Rupert Rudd

Diane and Family
This is my first visit back to the Coke Plant since your loss. His presense is still strong here and always will be. He was the heart and soul and is deeply missed. I hope time is helping with the pain but your messages and sentiments you gave during and immediately after Tony's passing are true...God needed him. He will always be a part of me and in my thoughts and prayers.

To Diane and famiy,
I just wanted to let you know we are still thinking about you and your family and we are still keeping ya'll in our prayers. As we grew up, we all kind of lost touch, but there are still so many fond memories. One of the fondest is how crazy we were over the "Rudd" boys. I remember when Diane & Tony had just started dating and we were playing house. Diane pretended she was married to Tony. I am so thankful that dream came true for Diane. She was always crazy about...

To Jessica and All the Family,
I have been wanting to see some of the family to tell you how sorry I was to hear about Tony. I always admired his quiet tender countenance. I have known him for many years, but never seemed to get to know him like I wanted to. However, I want you to know that I feel some of your grief. I truly thought of him as a friend. Jessica, I know you the best of all. Please know that I do care and wish you and all of your family the best. Sincerely, Glenn Moore

Diane and Family,
I was so surprised and sorry to hear about Tony. He was a very good man and will be missed by his Bristol Ward Family. Be assured that God takes the very best to help in his Heavenly work, and Tony was one of the very best. If I can be of service to you and your family, please do not hesitate to ask. May God bless and keep you in his loving care.

Sue, Rupert, and Family,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you in your time of sorrow. Our heavenly Father promised to send a Comforter to us in our time of need if we would but just call on Him. I only remember Tony as a young boy as I worked with Sue at Sears in Quincy. My children Clay (deceased), Darren Edmonds, and Kristi Edmonds-Waff, share a common ancestor with the Rudd family through their great grandmother Cenella Rudd Hamilton. God promised we would be with our loved ones...

Selena, Brad, Jessie, Becky, and Stacy, I am sorry about the loss of your father, I can't imagine what kind of trauma this has done to you all, but with god you will get through this, just keep all the good memories around you and you will be okay. Selena, you and I have always been pretty close and I remember alot of good times you and I had riding our bikes down Rudd Road, playing in the rain, and Brad and Jason always trying to beat us up. Now all of us are grown up and moved on with our...
