Rudolph "Rudy" De Luca, 91, of Easton, PA, passed away on Thursday, June 18, 2020.
Rudy was born in Easton, PA, on Feb. 10, 1929, the son of the late Joseph and Sadie De Luca.
Rudy was married to the former Joan Rosenfeld for 52 years, until her passing in 2001. He began his life's work at Easton Steel Structures, then started his sales career with Philrose Furniture and founded Rudolph De Luca Supplies, which he owned and operated for 25 years until retirement.
Rudy was an avid fan of Easton and Notre Dame University football and his beloved New York Yankees. He loved watching vintage movies, especially starring Errol Flynn and his favorite John Wayne. His passion for food was unmatched. His unique character and stories will always be cherished. Rest in Peace, Dad. We love you and will miss you greatly. He was a beloved father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
Rudy is survived by his sons, Paul of Easton, Robert of North Wales; grandchildren, Todd and Coy De Luca of NYC, Laura Kershner of Downingtown, David De Luca of Northern PA, and Eric De Luca of North Wales; great-grandchildren, Sean and Adam; a brother, Roland De Luca of Lopatcong Twp, NJ. He was preceded in death by his sister, Rose De Luca Dragotta; and brothers Carl and Salvatore De Luca.
