I would like to express my sincere sympathy to the family of Rudy. He was always friendly to me when I visited Terri. He liked to tease me about my red car. I think he wanted to trade his nice motorcycle for my red car. He will be missed by many people.

Rudy and I were stationed together at VR-54, in New Orleans. Spent many a day laughing with him. If you were down and out, he was one to lift your spirits. He will always be in the thoughts of all that knew him. God, needed a Flight Engineer, so he he took the "Best" for his own personal crew. So, "Kick the Tires and Light the Fires".
