I will never forget "King Rudy" as I lovingly called him. We met through his daughter Marlene around 1997. We had some wonderful times both here and in Elyria. Even after Marlene's passing we visited each other. He would call me on Saturday mornings every couple of weeks until his health started to decline in 2010 . Those calls would generally last about 30 to 60 minutes and, as we all know, would cover the weather from Elyria to Clearwater! I will really miss those calls! I am so very sorry I wasn't aware of his health problems while he was in Florida last year and since he went back to Ohio. I don't believe I ever heard him angry and he never met a stranger. The congregation at St. Mark will truly miss him. Rest in peace Rudy! Hopefully you are the weather channel angel!!
