Rudolf Ebers Obituary
Rudy immigrated to Ogallala, Nebraska in 1950 and joined the US National Guard. He was drafted to the US Army, where he served for 2 years.
He married Christa Blitz (also from Hamburg) in 1957. They had 2 children, Susan, and Michael. They moved to Portland, Oregon in 1959 and to Gresham, Oregon in 1971.
Rudy worked as a commercial plumber. He retired in 1990 and has been a Local 290 member for 65 years.
Rudy loved the outdoors, finding any excuse to go outside on a sunny day to tend to the yard and garden.
Having dealt personally with WWII as a younger man in Europe, he came to appreciate life, friends, and family.
Survived by wife Christa Ebers; daughter Susan (Michael) Coan; son Michael (Sarah) Ebers, sister Lore; brother Heinz Peter; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He will be buried in the Willamette National Cemetery, and Stehn Family Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
