He was born January 1, 1936, in Yugoslavia. Rudy was formerly employed at Leppert Machine for many years, was a hard worker, and later retired from Tri-R Tooling. He kept alive his heritage through his long time membership of over 50 years at the Mansfield Liederkranz. Rudy was very involved with the Liederkranz serving as a soccer coach and on the Board of Directors. He and his loving wife, Maria, were members of the Senior German Dance Club.

Rudy was a family oriented man who was funny and very witty. He was a world traveler and enjoyed playing Euchre with his family and friends.
