Who could forget you, dear uncle. See you on the other side. 😘

Remembering Uncle Sheldon, as I often do. When our dad died, Uncle Sheldon stepped forward and reached out to all six of his brother's kids as well as our mom, on a regular basis. I will always remember this kindness and use it as an example of how to live a meaningful life.

Dear Marilyn, Ross, MIranda and Dylan, 
So sorry to hear of your loss. The Greens will be thinking of you all and praying for you-especially Marilyn.  The loss of. Parent is terribly hard and I’m sending you in particular some special prayers. 

Love,
Jess Green

David, Caroline, Jess, Sam, Elle, I am deeply sorry about the passing of Sheldon. I just want you to know I’m here for you. David, you and the family are in my thoughts ❤️   

Charlotte and David, we were very sorry to hear this news.  We feel fortunate that we got to know Sheldon through events at David and Caroline's house through the years.  Sheldon was a wonderful person and very interesting to talk with.  He led an impactful life and helped raise a terrific family.  Treasure the many great memories.  Please know that we are thinking of you,

Joe, Kim, Lauren, Daniel, Sandy, and Nolan

Dear Charlotte, 
Dear Marilyn, Dear David, Dear Arnold, 

Condolence to you and to all of  Sheldon's loved ones. 

We wish you not only strength and courage in your mourning but also joy when thinking about our old "Dr. Rudnik". 

We grew up with Sheldon's hands in our mouths. Our parents became friends. We remember the joyous celebrations of the bar and bat mitzvotim of the three children. 

We only have good memories of a time in Champaign already long past.

Losing loved ones and watching our friends grieve their losses gives us a heavy heart. May Sheldon's memory be a blessing  filled with joyful memories that ease your pain. 

חזק חזק ונתחזק

It was back in the early 80s when Arnold became a fixture in our family.  We are forever thankful to Sheldon and Charlotte for him. It was always fun when Sheldon and Charlotte were around. We had many get togethers through the years and always looked forward to seeing Sheldon  and Charlotte. He will be missed by so many people. Love and condolences to Charlotte and family. You are in our thoughts and prayers Julie (Bode) Wenger

My name is Jordan Rudnick.  I am one of the children of the late Roland Rudnick, Sheldon Rudnick's only sibling.  I have loved Uncle Sheldon since I was a small child.  His love of children (he always showed love and joy when I saw him when I was a child and of course throughout my life as well), his kindness and great sense of humor, and his inherent mensch-iness at all times are just a few of the many  wonderful qualities that I recall most fondly about him and will always treasure as I carry the wonderful feelings I have for him in my heart for the rest of my life.  I began speaking to Uncle Sheldon and Aunt Charlotte more regularly on the telephone at least once a week at the end of 2007 following my dad's death at that time, and we continued to do so with the same frequency until his illness recently prevented it.  We usually just chatted about everyday things but every conversation was more than just an everyday thing and was also filled with laughter, love, fun, and much more.  To know Sheldon Rudnick was to have a better life. We have all lost a great man, and even that adjective falls far short of describing who he was and always will be in our hearts and minds.  My deepest condolences, love and support go out to Aunt Charlotte, Marilyn and Ross, David and Caroline, Arnold and Kath, and to all of Sheldon and Charlotte's grandkids.  I love you all and hope that your feelings of deep sadness and loss soon become simply wonderful feelings and memories about him, with the knowledge that he has always been, still is now, and forever will be inside all of our hearts bringing us ongoing feelings of love and happiness.  Love, Jordan Rudnick.
