So sorry for the loss of Rudy. I would see him at LBCT since I am a vendor for Cintas at the terminal. Rudy and I played ball together and I remember my Dad Al picking him up and all of us riding in the bed of the truck and heading to games and joking around being crazy teenagers. Rudy was a great guy and we will miss him truly! Liana use to attend Golf Avenue with Rudy and she also had many memories which I would tell Rudy about when we spoke. My father Al who is now 89 yrs old also sends his condolences to all of the Rodriguez family!

Rudy I’m going to miss you my friend.  My condolences to the Rodriguez family.
I remember stopping by Rudy’s house in the early 90s we would have our  lowriders parked in front all cleaned up ready to go cruising  then we moved up to K5 chevys . Then a few years later we all became Longshoreman.
RIP …Rudy  until we meet again.

Thanks for a lifetime of great memories brother gonna miss them calls and texts thanks for sharing some of the special occasions in my life love you bro  . 
Oh yeah we need you to move crane 13 so we can let the ship go 👍

Our condolences to the entire family. Rudy was the upmost perfect definition of an uncle to our son. Every birthday every christmas Uncle rudy would drop of a gift and much love to Anthony. I know our son loved you like a father figure and forever we will be grateful for that. We know how excited you were to have a great-nephew Edward be part of your life . Your memories will forever flourish with our family Rudy. We thank you for being the Best Uncle , brother, Friend! 

With eternal Love , 
Big C and Monie Delgadillo and family

324 Mc Donald Ave How Ironic is it that after we all grew up that Rudy would be the one to own this property..💙 that was the boys dog Buck! When my Nina Angie and Nino Raul would go to Vegas or Ensenada They would drop the boys off with us...The next Day Buck would find his way to our house where the boys were...

Rudy, Me, Tony and Raully..It was always us..💙 My mom and Dad took us everywhere..The pike, the beach the park...all the fun things a kid could ask for at that age..As we got older  Rudy was always with us. My mom took the boys to high school and Rudy always had my mom Play the song "I want to go outside in the rain" by the Dramatics he also liked the song "Walking in the rain" by Oran juice jones...Always gonna think of you Rudy when I hear those songs.😪 You were loved by so many people, so caring and compassionate when it came to your friends and family.. Alot of hearts are broken, but I know When God said "come home Rudy", your job is done ..He greeted you with open arms.🙌  Heaven gained an Angel. We love you! And I will always carry you in my heart..Till we meet again...💔🙏

Since Rudy and Mago my niece first got together we always shared special times and memories, He saw both of my kids grow and now they’re adults. When Rudy would see me he would always say “leechaaaaaaa” and be so happy, Rudy was one of a kind no one will ever replace him, I will always have him in my heart

My heart goes out to your family Rudy you will be missed truly the memories we all have will keep you alive in our hearts for ever . Prayers for your wife,  kids ,grandchildren  , mom , dad  and brother and all us friends that have a heavy heart at this time . I’m still in disbelief so very sad . Rest in peace not going to say good bye but see you later 
Your childhood friend

To the Rodriguez family.  Sending you all hugs and prayers. My heart is broken and still in disbelief. Rudy was an amazing person and our kids' Easter Bunny.  No matter where he seen us he always stopped and chatted and made us feel welcome.  He will be missed very much. May he rest in peace 🙏🏿 

Love. The Seay-Benjamin and Arellano family

Rudy, my heart hurts for your beautiful family.

I cannot wrap my head around your passing. When Eddie passed away, you checked in on us regularly. Always ready to lend a helping hand if it was needed. 
Whenever I saw your truck parking on the side of my house, I knew I was going to get one of your amazing hugs. I'm going to miss those hugs. 
 Louie and I are going to miss your smiling face when we go out on our walks with our grandbabies. 

Rest in peace Rudy; you will be truly missed.

Rodriguez Family
My heart is heavy with sorrow of the passing of my God-son Rudy. He was humble, loving and caring. Never wanting credit for  helping anyone.Rudy knew how to reach out to others. He gave guidance and laughter to those who needed it.  A God given gift. He would  show up unexpected  just to say hello. He loved his family and friends. Though he is gone. His love for all will remain in our hearts. May his legacy of love give us comfort and strength. 
Your Nina
Esther n Rick Gutierrez

Rudy was a good person to me and father, he was always caring and kind. One memory I have is being in his mother’s house with everyone and we were celebrating my birthday. I remember vaguely it was a blue birthday cake with horses on it because I loved horses. He was also a really good friend to my father, someone who was always there and trying to make everyone smile. I will forever miss him and the times we would all go out to dinner to El Torrito on the pier.  He will be forever missed.

Pop and his Nino Rudy💙  Rudy came over to bring a little hat for pop so they could match..(1989)

Back in the days...Me and Rudy looking all fine💙

Raully, Tony, Rudy and MaRissa  primos/ hermanos... 💙

Rudy aka Woody...My Dad ( uncle Tony) had names for most of us... Rudy would walk in and my dad would say Wooooodeeeee! 💙

This has been really difficult to understand. Still trying to process this loss.  We will miss those unexpected visits from you. The boys loved hanging out with “Uncle Rudy”.

We love you and will miss you  buddy!

Rudy was such a kind and gentle soul, he was always mild in his speech and would make me feel like I was his little brother. My memory of him is when we went to get my boat after the motor had been repaired and we and few guys were going to go for a test ride. After the mechanic had dock the boat and left we climbed in and got ready to go.....so I thought. As I turn the key to start up, it just kept turning over and wouldn't start! I was so nervous and upset until ,Rudy put his hand on my shoulder and said "it's all good doodoo man chill and let's have a beer together. So we sat and he cracked one open for me and said it all good man will get it . After I finished the beer Rudy told Frank " go ahead and fire it up before doodoo looses it!" And sure enough it started and we enjoyed the rest of our time. 
      This is just one of the memories I had with Rudy and I will miss him very much . When I would be on ship lashing we always call out to each other. He smile up and say DOO DOO MAN! I would say GANGS HOME RUDY! I'm gunna miss that. He will always be in my heart. My condolences to his family and all those effected by his loss , I look forward to God promise at Revelation 21:4 were it says that"Death will be no more ".

FROM THE ANGELES FAMILY

Going to miss you!!!  You left us way too soon, I still can’t believe you’re gone.  You were a great friend and enjoyed spending time with you and your family,

Rudy was in my life before I was even born, My mom tells me he was trying to help her choose a name for me while she was in the hospital because my mom didn’t have a clue what she was going to name me. Rudy watched me grow up calling me “piñita” meaning little pineapple because of my cheeks. Rudy would always be so happy to see us and always showed us all so much love this is a HUGE loss to the Melena family I will always remember him

My father Art (Poyo) says that he will especially miss having those occasional lunches with his godson Rudy and the guys! He will always be missed but he will be there for his family in any way he can. We all will!!
Love always, Christina Montoya Dapper & family

Rudy, always looked forward to seeing you every morning at LBCT! I will miss you!!! Robert

Gone But, Never forgotten!
I will forever treasure my memories of you. From your secret to eating a perfect peanut butter sandwich, you carrying me around when I was little, squeezing and pinching my face, growing up at the Wil-hall "Dodgers", blasting the delfonics & summer days on the Mc donald Block. You were a simple man with a heart of Gold. The love you had for your family and friends is endless. Your legacy will live on through everyone you blessed with your love and kindness. Rudy you left us too soon!! It's just so unbelievable but, God has bigger plans for you. Thank you for being such a amazing person ayou will be missed forever. 
Sending our deepest condolences & prayers to the Rodriguez, Melena, Diaz Familia & Friends.
May God rest your soul in peace & may the perpetual light shine upon you. 
Forever in our hearts, thoughts and always in our prayers.
We Love you Rudy,
Nini " Boo" De La Torre, Tia Marge  & Tommy

I find it very difficult to write a a memory when it just doesn’t seem real still.  Our hearts are broken for all the Rodriguez Family. You were such a kind and caring friend Rudy and you will forever be missed.  All those daily text messages will never be the same without  you. We will cherish the memories and we know you will be looking down on us with that huge smile you had. Forever in our hearts RJ! RIP camarada!

My Condolences to the Family for your loss and also our loss. Rudy I’m gonna miss you. my heart is saddened, can’t believe you’re gone. Every time we run into each other all we talked about was back in the days when we hung around  with Ponch, Buddy, Gar, Lou, and Missle, Bouncer and Stomper. And all the good times! All I can hear is when you use to say “Tommy remember this, remember that”! Now lot of us are gone with only a few remaining, Let the Angels open them gates for you, may you rest easy my friend. Gonna miss you🙏🏼😔.

I’m going to miss you so much nino all the laughs we had. I remember going to dinner and you saying “you guys ready for dessert” as we were all full yet you still got your dessert lol. I love you a lot nino god gained a beautiful angel

Our condolences to the family. Our last dinner will always be a great memory of ours. Our prayers go out to the family. You will be truly missed we thank you for being such a great nino to our daughter raydeen always being supportive and wanting to be involved. We love you

This photo is just 1 of many memories that  Paige and I  got to share with Rudy and his family. Rudy wore his heart on his sleeve always taking time to make sure everyone close to him was happy. A true friend and Uncle to my daughter Paige. Rudy was and will always be the true definition of a hard working loving caring father husband brother and son to his family.Never leaving a stone unturned.
Dinners with the Rodriguez family always finished with Baskin Robbins  a double scoop of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Paige would always look forward to these outings. Cause Uncle Rudy would always override me if I said no ice cream...
You will be truly missed my dear friend but never forgotten. Rest in Peace!
I would like to take the title from a song by the country group Hardy!! "Give Heaven Some Hell"..

My Brother Rudy will be missed by all.  May you rest in peace my brother 🙏.

My most sincerest condolences to the whole Family.  This was a devastating blow to us all.  He Is My Primo  Hermano....  He is the Brother that I never had...  I owe him a debt of gratitude that I will never repay.  He is the reason that I have the career on the railroad.   That I've had for the last 21 years... Every time  I asked him for help. He never turned me away.  Or even hesitated...  He has always been a  Guardian  to all his Family and Friends.   Now he will be our Guardian Angel. Along side my Nana Laurita , Tata Frank , My Father Tony, Uncle Frank,Aunt Jenny,Uncle Art and Primo Hermano Ray Diaz....  Rest in Peace Woody Love You....   ❤️  💔

Gonna miss you Rudy. You truly became my brother. Looked forward to our chats daily,laughs and songs we shared. You showed me a lot,taught me a lot and showed me how to be professional. More importantly you HELPED me get further with life things. Rest in peace my brother. God wanted you to come home,but he also knows you’ll truly be missed amongst us. Love you bro,KIRK

Your Gonna Be Truly Missed My Brother 🙏🏽

Rudy, 
You truly will be missed. All our love follows you to heaven. Please hug our Poppy for us let him know we miss him and Frank n Jennie too. Praying for peace for your family
