Rudy jr was my Dear Cousin. I was born the year of April 1945. After Rudy came home from the Korean War he lived with his father and mother in their new home at the corner of Genevieve and Prange ave.He owned a cushman motor scooter and would ride around the neighborhood standing between his legs holding on to the handle bar. What a thrill!!!! I was probably around four to five years old. He was my first role model and just the most wonderful cousin I could have wanted at a young age. Uncle Eddie, he was Aunt Annies youngest brother. Rudy and Eddie were my hero,s growing up. Two great young guys who grew up and married their sweethearts from the Walnut park area neighborhood. Well so much I could relate! He was a role model and great influence on me. Loved Him and wish I would have had a much closer relationship with Him and Mary and all my cousins. My condolences to all Rudy and Marys family
