Rudy was born in Magrath on August 29, 1955 and completed his education through high school there. He went on to attend university in Lethbridge and Edmonton, earning a degree in physics. The pursuit of knowledge would remain with him throughout his life.

Rudy experienced many adventures in his life, travelling extensively through the south pacific and settling in Indonesia for a time as part of his working career. He went on to reside in Vancouver where he worked in the mineral assay field until his retirement, when he returned to his native Magrath.

Rudy was an avid bibliophile, amassing an incredible library of books. He also engaged in many sciences and crafts including electronics, chemistry, metallurgy, astronomy, woodworking and computers. He lived a quiet and simple life in retirement, working on the pursuits he loved.

Rudy’s curiosity, intellect and wit will be missed by his family and friends.
