    My wife Diana and I are saddened by the news of Rudy's passing. We are customers at Stephens Honda, and whenever we purchased a car we always asked for Rudy and suggested him to family and friends. He was straightforward, reliable, and a true gentleman.

    I first crossed paths with Rudy at stephens old Honda as a snot nosed teenager. He was a very loving and friendly person to work with. Always there to talk and give advise to anyone! Then I became a moose member and we reconnected again! Again he was very good at listening to me and will always be cherished to me as a great friend! I will never forget the great conversations we had! God bless your family! Rest in peace Rudy!
