My dad, Ron (son of Louise and Tom) told me of Uncle Rudy's passing. Please know that I will always remember him and his great sense of timing and humor - I can still "see" him sitting at the table in my Grandma's kitchen and think how much they looked alike.
My prayers are with all of you - children, grandchildren, and of course Aunt Lorene.
Affectionately.

I am proud to work for Buchheit and to have known Rudy. He always greeted me with a smile and a handshake each time we would meet in one of the stores. I have always respected him for the way he and his family have treated me over the years. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. He will be missed.

My heart and prayers are with you all. I met Rudy when I was about 12 year old when my father took me on a sales call to the old store in Biehle. I'm old now however as I grew up I noticed that Rudy set a vision for his business and more so for his family that has lasted through generations. It is guaranteed that a person with a heart like his is now sitting on high.

I loved Grandpa Rudy more than words can express. He made each of his grandkids feel important and we were truly blessed to be honored with his presence for so many years. Our prayers are with all of the Rudy Buchheit family as we grieve the loss of this special man.

God Bless,
Angie, Tom, Greta, Rudy, Otto, and Naida
