Rudy was one of a kind, the ultimate jokester. No matter the occasion, he always had a joke on hand. He had nicknames for everyone only he knew the meanings of.
He always knew how to make everyone around him laugh.
Rudy is survived by his wife of 47 years, Teresa; children Yolanda (Dana) and Rudy Jr. (Reyna); grandchildren Rudy, Ismael, Dana, Dayanarra, Emiliano and CJ; siblings Carlos (Susan), Robert (Jesusita) and Leticia.
