Rudy was a big man with a big presence, but a quiet sense of humor that always left you thinking. He didn’t need to be loud to be heard. He was strong without force. He had a way of letting you think you figured it out on your own when he had already cleared the path. He was the true definition of a man.

He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
