My parents (Bud & Sandy Trice) were great friends with The Knights. Emma Lee would design my prom dresses and sun dresses and Rudy would fix anything around our house that needed to be fixed. Both of them were very generous and talented people and will be missed by all who knew them. God Bless You too.

Gary and I were so sorry to hear about Rudy's death. I know it is very hard for Tammy. She was like a daughter to Rudy and Emma Lee. I know she misses them both very much.

Rudy, and deceased wife Emma Lee, were both faithful workers at Anastasia Baptist Church. They were both loved by all.

Rudy and I were employees together at Grumman. Rudy never hesitated to let management know what was wrong with policies or procedures he observed at the Plant. He was honest and candid with suggestions. Always a true friend at work and at all Anastasia Baptist Church

activities.
