I have never known Rudy to be mad or upset he had his own way of dealing with things in a good way. Rudy was a kind and caring gentle giant- who loved his family. Rudy is now jamming with those who left us and all that were once missed, condolences to the rest of the family- wish I did not miss the services but just found out he was gone. - Posted by: Sharon Ward (Relative) on: Jun 11, 2018

My brother Rudy was an amazing man, he helped my foster mom Jane raise me & my sisters. He is and will always be in my heart... He was the best substitute father I can ever ask for, growing up he showed me what the love of a father is supposed to be like... I am truly honored & happy he was my brother... I love you & miss u so much but I know you are happy with my mama Jane up in heaven. See you again someday. - Posted by: Rita Olson (Sister) on: May 15, 2018

Rudy-Husky-Norville and I only met on a few occasions. He is my big brother. We first met in Scanterbury in Steve & Solvia's 1st Edition Camper the four of us playing guitar, and me trying to keep up with Solvia's most beautiful harmony. He offered me to play a song then I noticed the gaping hole in the back of his guitar. "Just muffle it with you leg and it will sound good". What a night that I will never forget. With big hugs rest in peace. May your light be a star that shines on us forever. Tammy Bradley Nepean ON - Posted by: Tammy-Lynn Bradley (brother-in-law) on: May 13, 2018

I have been very sad with Rudy's passing and am thankful that I spent some time visiting with him in Scanterbury last month. I always appreciated the amount of love and care he had for my mom, Jane during their 25 year union. He shared the same tremendous sadness when she left us last year and I know he had struggled daily with her passing right to the end. I know in my heart they are both together now and are continuing to enjoy their conversations with a lot of laughter, song, and love. - Posted by: Mona Wood (Stepdaughter) on: May 12, 2018
