Dear Lynne and family,
Paul and I were so sad to hear that Rudy died. Lynne, thank you so much for calling me. How I wish I had not been in a chaotic place when you called so that we could have had a quiet moment.
We are so grateful that we got to see you both again after so many years. Your home in Parry Sound is beautiful. It exudes love and hospitality. It was fun to reminisce and to catch up on the past decades, with all the wonderful stories of children, grandchildren, and canine family members sharing the good times. We were duly impressed with the church schedule he kept up in Canada after retiring from St James. It was good to pray together. We were so looking forward to getting together again next year, and hoping for that Bexley Hall reunión.
All the wonderful photos of Rudy with all of you, smiling with that little twinkle in his eye bear witness to a life well lived, and a contentment with that life. Well done good and faithful servant.
Rudy’s departure from this life is a loss for so many whose lives he touched. We are lucky to be among those.
RIP
