    My memory of Rudy started when I was first employed at Dodson Engineering Inc, on March 26, 1974. He was a teacher, great friend, honest, and down to earth. God has a great man now. I will miss you.

    Rudy was the greatest bosses I've ever worked for. I was only 17 when I started working with him and he kinda took me under his wing for 25 years. He also was the greatest soup maker, especially his seafood soup! RIP Rudy and god bless his family.
