In Honor & Memory of Rudy, a true American Hero.
Although I wasn’t blessed to know Rudy, I know he had to be a very special man to be Trish’s beloved & wonderful husband & soulmate.
My many prayers will be with Rudy in Heaven & with you always dear Trish.

I was talking to Rudy in his office the day before he died.  I knew he hadn't been feeling well, but I was shocked to hear he was gone.  I know Rudy to be a devoted employee, husband and son.  He was very private, but I knew enough to say what a good person he was outside the office.  Trish,  I pray for you and am sorry that Rudy is gone from your life.

I started working with Rudy about 3.5 years ago.  He taught me so much about data and how to perform tasks required of our management.  He was patient, thorough and really wanted me to be confident in my ability to do the job and he would compliment a job well done.  I think party because it was a reflection on him.   He could be rough around the edges, but it is part of who he is.  I recently teased Rudy that the only way to get him to do something required 3 emails and a visit to his office. 

I will always be grateful for what you taught me and time invested in helping me.  I enjoyed our conversations and knowing I could confide in you.   SHF won't be the same.  I will miss you and I hope you rest in peace.

Rudy was a kind, compassionate, stubborn, aggravating, jovial, caring man. He was a hard worker and one who loved to have fun.  I will forever treasure our friendship of many years ago. I'm thankful for the memories we all have of him and the impact he has had on so many lives, including my own. Any one who has met him, carries a piece of his legacy.  Thanks, Rudy for enriching all our lives.

Dad... 
I don’t know what to say, we literally just talked. I’m heartbroken, see you soon. 

Rudy was the best neighbor any one could have.  We worked together on replacing our side  fence.  He was so easy to get along with-we quickly worked out any issues during the course of the project. Rudy was such a caring person...his devotion to Trish was evident. Trish,  We are deeply sorry for you loss.  We are here for you day or night Trish—please reach out at any time.  Rudy you left this world too soon and we miss you. Rest In Peace  Rudy. 

I worked with Rudy for 13 years and shared an office with him for about 9 of those years.  It is hard to find one memory.  Each day started with 'shooting the breeze', getting statuses on projects.  You get to know someone pretty well sharing a space 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week. Even though we would bicker..apologies were easy to come by and humor always smoothed things over.  I think that is why we could work together for so long.  It was those daily laughs...even when things got stressful..that I will remember fondly.  Darn it Rudy...you left way too soon.  You will be missed my friend.  Thank you for being my mentor, colleague and friend.

Sending my love to you Trish.❤️ My Tio Rudy will be greatly missed. I still can't believe he is gone. A memory I have is we both loved Grandma's carne guisada and when she became older she just couldn't cook anymore. The last visit we had in Austin a few years ago my fiance Fidel and I took Rudy to a place that made almost the same carne guisada as grandma and he was very happy. We have had some great memories of him visiting us in Texas.  Till we meet again Tio Rudy. Hope you are having a beer with grandpa. God bless you and love you from
Rose and Fidel 

My deepest sympathies Trish. 
My heart ached when I heard the news that my Uncle Rudy had left this earth. His memories will forever live in our hearts. I will always remember my Tio Rudy as a jokester and picking on my sister and I when he would visit grandma. I also will never forget the trip we took with my grandparents to visit in California.  Please know my loving thoughts embrace you each and everyday. Uncle Rudy will be greatly missed. 
Love always Ruby

Our deepest condolences Trish  on the passing of your  husband and companion  and our step brother Rudy .... we are still in disbelief.  On behalf of my sisters Linda, Nelda and Pete myself and my husband Phil we  want to let you know we are just a phone call away if you ever need anything. Rest assured that Aurora will be taken care of as Rudy wanted.  May he Rest In Peace.  Love from his family in Corpus Christi, Texas he will be missed.        Rosario Lopez 

My condolences Trish..when you and Rudy came to Corpus Christi last year and i met you two for the first time i found both of you to be very nice. Eddie often spoke of his cousin Rudy and im very happy i got a chance to meet you both. May the lord continue to give you strength.

Rudy was like a brother to me..we were cousins but he was like a brother. Whenever i needed help he was always there for me. He would call me early in the mornings just to wake me up and he would laugh about it. Even though it would aggregate me at the time im sure going to miss those calls. He would call to make sure i was on the right track..i had just talk to him the saturday before he passed. I will greatly miss you Rudy..may you rest in peace until we meet again.

I may not have known Rudy as long as others, but I remember when he and Trish came to our wedding. I recall him being a wonderful and kind individual who cared for others. They drove such a long distance just for our wedding, such an unbelievable and caring action. I am terribly sorry to hear of his passing and extend my thoughts to his family during this tragic time. 

Rudy was a very selfless man.  He and Trish drove for hours to attend both my wedding and my sister's, making our big days that much more special.  He cherished family and loved ones above all else.  It was truly sad to hear of his passing.  The world has lost an amazing man but gained a wonderful angel.

Thank you both for being in our lives and if you need anything, Trish, please don't hesitate to reach out.  We love you and always will love you, Trish and Rudy. 

Carl and I feel privileged to have known Rudy. From the first time we met him we felt like we've known him forever. Although we were thousands of miles apart it never felt that way. The four of us would get sooo excited when it was getting close to our yearly visits with each other. Rudy was the most charismatic person we ever knew. He had a sense of humor like no one else. We have so many memories of the  good times together in our hearts and in our minds. Rudy will never, ever be forgotten. Trish, I know you will cherish every day you had with him. The love you two shared with each other was so obvious in other people's eyes. Stay strong girlfriend, and you know I  will forever be here for you. We love you!      Joann and Carl

Trish, No words can express our deepest sympathy. You have our sincere condolences and are in our thoughts and prayers. We are here to listen anytime you need someone to talk to. Your love for Rudy shined.                       Love from Marie and George

We were saddened to learn of Rudy's passing as it came as a terrible shock to all of us. Trish and Rudy were kind enough to brighten the wedding memories of both of my daughters by making the long and journey to be there on those days. Family is something very dear to us and having both of you join us on those special occasions was a joy we will always remember. Our hearts and prayers go to Trish. I can only say to keep remembering all the good times you two shared and he will live on in your heart, and ours.

My wedding day,  like most brides is a day they will always cherish but for me, I cherished my wedding day so much because my family and friends were they by my side as I entered the next chapter in my life. 

I can still remember Trish and Rudy’s kind smile and their laughter that filled up the room that day and late into the night. Seeing them have such strong love for one another gives me hope that my husband and I will be able to just get half of what they had and always will have. 

I am so sorry for your loss Trish but I know he is still with you, always and forever. We love you! 

Sincerely, 
The Younan family 

P.s. whenever you want some company I know the twins will especially be so happy to see you. 

We really enjoyed meeting Rudy at our daughter’s weddings. His smile beamed just like his love for you, Trish. What the two of you shared was truly something special. Rudy will forever be a part of    you. We are keeping you in our prayers and wishing you comfort during this very tragic time.
With deepest sympathy,
Your cousin, Patty

Both my father and I send our sincerest condolences.   I  met Trish while serving in the Navy.   I was happy to learn she had gotten married in 1988.  I met Rudy shortly after that.    He and I shared many interests.   Trish,  Rudy and I were PN1's in the Navy.  Through the years both Rudy and Trish visited me in Las Vegas, because I was not able to travel any more.   He was a great guy and a great friend.   I  will truly miss him.   May he have true winds and following seas.  





Our most sincere condolences for the passing of Rudy. He was a friendly guy and liked to chat occasionally when we would catch each other in our front yards. Sometimes when he’d see me outside washing my car he would ask me if I wanted to wash his truck too! More recently during one of our front yard chats he had had given me some thoughtful  job advice and a few of his contacts to reach out to for potential opportunities. His good humor and neighborly acts of kindness will be remembered. May peace be with his soul and in the hearts of his family. 

We are deeply sorry for the loss of your dear husband. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to your family. We are here for you for anything you need. You have our sincere condolences, and we will keep you close in our thoughts and prayers. The Kellems family (Via Hacienda neighbor) sends healing thoughts and lots of love during this time.
