Rudy was an avid golfer with two (2) Hole in One's to his credit! He played many sports, but especially loved being on the Our Redeemer Church bowling team and Slow Pitch Softball team. He coached his daughters' softball team, the Renegades, for 10 years.

Rudy loved to watch football and enjoyed putting together football pools. He loved watching and attending Cardinal games with his wife, Fran. They had season tickets for years and truly made attending each game an event, especially watching from The Stadium Club.

Rudy always tried to make everything fun and enjoyed a good laugh. He loved to spoil and surprise his children and grandchildren and spent many memorable vacations, games and events with family and friends. Rudy will be missed.
