Rudy never forgot his heritage. He always made time to visit, and his warm smile will be missed. Hope he has his accordion with him, so he can play for all his friends in Heaven. We will remember him in our prayers and sincere sympathy is sent to his family.

My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. He was a wonderful classmate and I considered him a very dear friend. He always had a smile for everyone and playing his accordion was a special gift. He will be missed by all who knew him. Rudy, may you rest in peace and enjoy the company of the many saints in heaven. Sincerely, Barbara Pasin
