Fair Winds, Frogman…
I first heard of Rudy as a young teenager when he first appeared on Survivor 19 years ago, which led me to research him and start to learn more about the military and special operations, which put me onto the military path I ended up on.
“stuck on an island with queers”
What a personality, RIP
Was at a little bar in San Diego back in the 90s unknowingly sat down next to Rudy. I remember to this day that he treated me like a regular guy asked all kinds of questions and was a Tonna fun to have a few beers with.
I mentioned this a few months later to a Navy buddy… He said to me, good God, do you know who you were sitting next to!!!
I replied, no, just one hell of a great guy is all I know!
They don’t make them like that anymore… RIP Rudy, glad to have met you!!!
The world is a better place with more guys like you in it!!!
