I just found out that Rudy had died. I worked with him for many years at the SC Department of Corrections. Rudy was a very nice man, had a big heart and he had a great laugh. He was fun to be around and I am sure he will be missed by all of his family. May God be with you and bring you peace. Rest in Peace Rudy.
