I've known Mr. Rudy since I was 15 years old and that man had a hug for me every time he saw me. I'll miss walking into Rags when I'm home for a visit and getting to hug his neck.

Some of my fondest childhood memories were going to Uncle Rudy's house on Christmas afternoons! He was so full of life and zest. His boys always had the most interesting toys, that Rudy enjoyed as much as they did. He was a generous, loving man who had a bigger than life presence. Sending heartfelt sympathy to Rudy and Bobbie.....

I've known Rudy all of my life and will tell anyone that the good Lord never made a man who was any better. There may be some as good, but none better.
My parents were from Olympia and that's how Rudy came to be known for our family - from the restaurant equipment business to Rags to Ritchies, and sharing the Masonic brotherhood.
I'm deeply saddened by his passing, but have to remember that he is now living the promise fulfilled. My thoughts and prayers are with you, my brother.
