Default RIP Rudy
So sad to report that “Opo” Rudy has passed away from Covid. So tragic.

Wonderful Rudy died from Covid. If any of you, your family, friends, any children >12 remain unvaccinated, for whatever dumb reasons- beware. Wise up, get shot in his memory.

I remember seeing this pic for the first time and I was overwhelmed. I was fortunate to meet him and visit his garage. He will be missed. RIP Rudy!

Tremendous loss for his family and friends and for this community. Wish I could have met him in person. Rest in peace.

He was really a great friend to all of us. I had the good fortune to meet him at Luft 2018. He was always incredibly generous with his time and wisdom.

He was one of a kind.

Rest in peace, our dear friend.

Huge loss, he was a really wonderful person. I only got to meet him once but he treated me as if I was family when showing me around his shop. May he Rest In Peace.
