The family would like to thank the Sherman cancer center team for their special and loving care. How many cancer patients do you know who looked forward to getting their chemo treatments?

Rudy was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, building and flying model airplanes, good music, and fixing things. Rudy had a big personality, great sense of humor, strong code of personal honor, and a love of people. People were the focus of his life and this focus was obvious to all who knew him however briefly or long term. Of all things, he most enjoyed laughing with his wife, children and grandchildren and friends. He worked in the automotive trade as a leader, manager, and salesman for over 40 years. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
