I met the Troya family in the early 90's, when Anne & Rudy moved in across the street from my family. My kids, being the same ages as Nicole & Natalie, were thrilled to have such wonderful play pals, and those friendships have continued thru these years. Rudy, and Anne were just wonderful neighbors, in our neighborhood. We all shared BBQ's, & family dinners, and spent summers swimming in their pool. Rudy was an excellent cook, and we had many a great dinner in their welcoming home, and many happy times 2gether. During my subsequent divorce, they gave my kids a haven, & a friendly place to go. Tho I hadn't spoken to you in a few years, Rudy, and Anne, I will always remember Rudy's kind hearted nature, generous soul, and exuberant laugh......As the circle of Life is upon us all, please know that my thoughts & prayers are with the whole Troya family. If there is some way I can help you, Anne, to listen, or to help in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sometimes there are no perfect words, only thoughtful silences that whisper softly of caring. What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply, becomes a part of us. Dear Rudy, dear friend, you will be so missed! In the arms of the angels, may you find some comfort there - - becky tanner

Rudy was an amazing man. He was always happy, he was also a very funny guy. He really knew how to make everyone laugh. He loved his girls so much; Ann, Nicole and Natalie. He never had anything bad to say about anyone. Rudy will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
