To the Stepper Family,

I was extremely saddened to learn of the passing of your husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and great grandfather. I first met Rudy nearly sixty years ago and have always admired his tremendous work ethic. The incredible business legacy he has left is one of immeasurable proportions.

I will always remember Rudy as a true gentleman ... one who always took the time to visit whenever I had the pleasure of coming in contact with him.

Please accept my sincerest condolences as this time.
