Rudy was the kind of man that you look up to and aspire to become. I always looked forward to our living room visits with Rudy and Virginia. I am honored to have known him. Prayers and condolences.
My dad introduced me to Rudy when I first started driving. I bought my first of many recap tires from BRIT starting in the early 1970’s. He was always kind and respectful.
