Dear Maryellen, my condolences for your loss! Praying that God's comfort and peace will uphold you! Big hug!
Uncle Rudy you will be greatly missed. Growing up I can always remember you making me laugh. Some of my earliest family memories are of your sports collection. When I was in your home it constantly had my attention. You were incredibly kind, generious and thoughtful. Coming to my rescue when I had gotten older helping me with my plumbing issues as a first time home owner. I will never forget the skills you taught me. May you find forever resting peace.
