Rudy was an amazing husband and dad. He often gushed about how much he loved them to anyone who would listen! He made them breakfast in bed every weekend and never missed anything that his kids were involved in
Rudy was a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan! Rudy LOVED playing golf…he was a legend in his own mind! Rudy also loved music! Some of his absolute favorites included The Grateful Dead, Bob Marley, The Cure, and New Kids on the Block. He loved taking his son to concerts and has passed his love of music on to him.
Rudy worked for Plains All American Pipeline for 10 years. He loved his job and the folks he worked with. His coworkers became his lifelong friends.
Rudy was known for being a kid at heart! He found the joy in everything. His bigger than life personality would draw people to him, and he has never met a stranger. The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to Dr. Scott Kruger and his staff at Virginia Oncology and also to Personal Touch Hospice, especially to his hospice nurse, Nikema.
