Such fond memories of Rudy...a true hard worker, who always gave his all. He had a heart of gold. How proud he was to be in his uniform. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

Rudy will be remembered by myself and others of the 128th Refueling Wing as a dedicated and excellent technician. He also was a serious student and graduate of Don Bosco High School. My condolences to his family and friends.
