Rudy was born and raised in Houston’s El Dorado neighborhood and was honored and proud to be an Army SPC 4 Vietnam Veteran. He loved everything Houston! The Colt 45s, the Astros, the Oilers, the Texans, the Rockets and his beloved UH Cougars. “Uncle Rudy” as he was known to most, made friends everywhere he went.
He is preceded in death by his parents, John & Dora; his sisters, Bonnie & Delores; and his true love, Velma.
He leaves behind his loving children, Rudolph II and Regina, and his beloved grand-children, Rudolph III, Riley, Chloe, Ian and Bella; his sister & brother-in-law, Marie & David; his brothers and sisters-in-laws, Richard & Liz, and Robert & Veronica, and countless nieces & nephews.
Rudy will be missed tremendously by all who knew him.
