Dear Joan and Family
We were sad to hear about the passing of Rudy. It is like losing a close family member even if there is a big ocean in between. We are having nice memories of our visits with Rudy and Joan, and having been in contact by airmail and email for many years we knew him quite well.
Our great sympathy for Joan, Anna, Reine and their spouses and family, Heidi and Tony and all those we do or do not know in person.

Rudy was truly a GOOD MAN who left a legacy of a beautiful loving family like no other.
May his life be an example on how to be kind, intelligent, joyful and unconditionally loving.
He taught us all much simply by being “Rudy” I will love you forever and ever.

Dear Aunt Joan and family,

We were sad to hear of Uncle Rudy’s passing. What a lovely man. We admired him for his love of the great outdoors and his love for his family. That man could keep up with all of us when it came to hiking! My the Lord bless you during this difficult time. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews. Love Carol and Andy

Dear Joan and Family, We were so blessed to have known Rudy! We thank God for his beautiful life and love! His love of God and family was so deep, true, and faithful! We loved everything about him, in particular his keen sense of humor and interesting stories! Rudy was very quiet with his great talent in carpentry work, which all of us admired! Many pieces of his artistry will remind all of him for many years to come! We keep our fond memories of Rudy close in our hearts as well as Joan, family and friends do, also! May his soul rest in peace with God and all in heaven!!

Rudy was one of the really nice people I have known. Always friendly and upbeat, quick with story — not in telling, but in readiness to tell! He would tell stories about his past, his family, or about something else that he had heard or read— and it was always a pleasant memory or funny story. I am blessed to have known Rudy. Rest in God’s presence, dear friend. It has been my privilege to know you and Joan all the way back to St Thomas More in the mid 1960’s. What a joy when we found each other again at SSPP in this Century. Memory eternal. Aman. Amen.
