Rudy was the devoted and charismatic leader of his family. In 1948 his pioneering spirit led him to Maywood, Calif., from his home in Gary, Ind. He raised most of his six children in Maywood, where he was a general contractor, mayor of the city, and always the champion for the "underdog." In 1975, Rudy moved his family to Arroyo Grande.
Rudy will be remembered for his strength of character, his humor, tireless musings on life, God and politics, and his unwavering courage to fight for the rights of those less fortunate.
Rudy is survived by his wife of 65 years, Magdalene; son Rudy and wife Marguerite and their children, Patricia, Jim and Kent; son Dennis and his children, Laura and Christopher; daughter Diane Hultquist and husband Steve and their children, Brent and Cherilyn; daughter Lynn Moore and husband David and their children, John and Tamara; daughter Jeanine Gore and husband Phil; daughter Sherrie Curtis and husband Scott and their child Kyle and one on the way; and nine great-grandchildren.
