Rudy was known for the good things he grew. A hearty muscadine grapevine he planted when he was 12 years old in his Kingston, Tennessee home still produces grapes today. Beautiful Christmas trees grown in Perry County, Indiana provided Christmas joy to families in southern Indiana for many years. Cannelton neighbors still enjoy the hardwood trees as housewarming gifts. As the area USDA Conservationist, Rudy touched many lives. He was a member of First Baptist church in Cannelton, Indiana and attended Living Hope Baptist Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
