What a Guy!!
We were lucky to have such a strong and peaceful man as a Father and Grandfather. The impact an individual has on your very character NEVER sets in until they are physically absent. Those that knew him well, all say the same thing; strong, talented, dedicated, committed, humorous, patient, and most frequently, peaceful. Once you spent some time with Rudy, he gave you peace and confidence with his mere presence.
Dad embodied what I consider the BEST traits in humanity. He was ALWAYS there for everyone, even when they weren’t there for him, in EVERY facet of his life. He taught life lessons through consistent example, and never once use an aggressive measure to prove his point. He was talented enough to have been anything he desired, but he chose to be a Husband, Father, and Grandfather as a 1st priority, every day. He could solve any problem, in every domain of life.
By his example, I know that I’m a much better person, and I know our two sons, Jacob and Zach are far better for his consistent involvement in their life. I also know that he always set the benchmark that others could follow. Many have, but it’s a very high standard in today's selfish world. It’s hard to reconcile the number of lives he touched without ever trying to be an influence, but just a peaceful and consistent example.
We hate to report his passing this Monday at 90yo, but he went on his own terms, in his own home, with Vera at his side, peaceful and easy, just like he lived. The boys had him chuckling the week before, so it was a quick transition for him. For that, we are all thankful. His remains will be transported to his home state of TX, where his story originated in a one-room house as the oldest of nine children.
We celebrate his life and will forever enjoy his watchful eye from above. We know he’s riding his stick shift Indian, hair slicked back, hands in his leather jacket pockets over every railroad track in Heaven. Have a blast Dad, we’ve got everything covered for you from now on, and will carry your mission and memory forward.
