I feel so blessed to have known Rudy, and to be welcomed into his family. His trust in me and my work at the pie shop is very important to me. Witnessing his walk with the Lord was a great inspiration in my life. Rudy, who was very precious to you and so many others, will always be remembered as a special gift of God to this world. Good people will be remembered as a Blessing. Proverbs 10:7 My love and prayers are with you always.

We loved Rudy as our Christian brother. We are so thankful that he was a part of our lives for so many years here in Pompano and even after he moved to Lantana. We look forward to a grand reunion one day in our Heavenly Home.

Rudy was such a strong example of what a Christian is to be, as he truly lived what he believed and shared the good news with all. Our love and prayers go out to all the family. God bless, Bill & Judy Thacker, Sweetwater, Tennessee

What a great example of loving his God and loving his family...he will be missed and remembered. We all know he was more than ready to meet his Maker...and what a great meeting that was, I'm sure! His legacy will live on through those he influenced.

Rudy never knew a stranger and when he met someone, it was always on his mind to introduce them to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He and my husband, Clay, are now together again singing their hearts out praising the Lord with the other saints in heaven. Wouldn't you just like to have a little peak to see what's going on. I don't think it's the same up there now. They would figure out some way to get into trouble. I have been thinking of you all continually and praying for you and missing Rudy. Even though he was far away, I knew he was there. What a legacy he has left. He truly was a man of God and I loved him dearly.

Having just lost my own Dad, I know the voids that are left behind. However, I also know the joy in celebrating that Dad is in Heaven and someday, we will meet again. Rudy shed his broken body and has a new one now. He won't be suffering anymore. He will be waiting for his family to join him someday - Quintero reunion at Heaven's gate. In the meantime, I know he and my dad are having a wonderful time in Gloryland! Thinking of you all ...with sorrow and joy.

We must always remember that he is so happy to finally be "home" after such a long battle. We know that he is no longer in pain and suffering and that, at times, will help get you through. Please know that my prayers are with you as you adjust to a new way of life. I love you all and will miss him.
