I Was in Gad After I Had Been in Oxford From Being Hit By a Truck My Memories Destroyed By The Awful Situation And I Had a Interesting Pull to Go into The Comic Book Shop Where I Met Blake and He Was a Very Brainy Guy I Took to Him Right Away Well He Jumped Started My Mind in Conversation and He Said You Are Really a Smart Guy Let Me Introduce You to Ed and He Did And We Would Talk for Hrs About Everything Law It's Really Nothing I Didn't Know About The Subject Well That Got Ed Really Interested in Being My Friend He Was a Law Junkie Like Me And That Helped Me Remember What I Was Doing I Was a PL in Law And I Got Paid to Help People With Cases So I Was The Last Case Ed Was Working On Before He Passed Away

I knew Ed for less than ten days in 1984 when he was working advance for the Mondale-Ferraro campaign.  He left an indelible impression on me as a 19 year old college student.  I'm sorry that my occasional internet searches over the years have led me to this obituary rather than an opportunity to tell him thank you.   Best wishes to the family and friends he left behind.

Based on the picture,  this is the Ed Rudd I knew in Aspen, CO in the 1980's.  We had some good times.  He was doing some legal work.
I'd appreciate it if someone could contact me and confirm this is the same Ed.   stormy@stormy.org


Ed was a good guy and I remember him fondly. I was on that Kentucky Derby road trip in 1972 although in a different car with Dwight Buzbee (otherwise I would have wound up in Chicago). We partied Friday night, Derby eve, at fraternity row at the University of Louisville. In the midst of the mud, blood, and beer, Ed was having a great time. In about 1974 Ed and George Shellman showed up unannounced at my work in Jacksonville, Florida. We partied for several days. Ed and I connected via LinkedIn a few years ago. Again, Ed was a good guy. I miss him.

Ed and I grew up together in Gadsden and his Mother was one of my school teachers. He was a year older than me so we didn't really get to know one another until we were both at Auburn and  where he was the reason I joined Phi Kappa Tau  social  fraternity, the place we had the best time of our lives. Ed always had a positive attitude and always had a big smile on his face. He spent his life helping those less fortunate and supported many organizations both political and philanthropical  whose goal was the same.

Ed and I became friends while students at Auburn.  My best and fondest memory of Ed was when five of us Auburn students on a whim decided to attend the 1972 Kentucky Derby.  After the Derby we somehow ended up in Chicago.  After a couple days,  Ed and I flew to Atlanta.  Ed had a friend pick us up in Atlanta and drive us back to Auburn.  What an adventure!   

I worked for years wit his mother Sue at  Gadsden State. Although we were both at Auburn at the same time  I only knew who he was then. After moving to Gadsden  thru his mom we became friends. He was the most devoted son a mother could hope for. He made it possible for her to remain in her home. There will be many stars in his crown for that. Interesting and highly intelligent, he was a great always informed conversationalist.  I will miss him.
