On his return to PA, Rudy gained a college degree, and began a long and very successful career in general product sales, later advancing into advertising sales where he would achieve excellence until he retired as a Sales Manager at 65. He loved to mentor and had a special talent in telling a captivating story.
Rudy was a great person in general and an excellent father. He always had time for his family and made sure that Mom and kids always came first!
