To the entire Rudnick Family,
Although we only met with Brian on one occasion, when he drove from Indiana to Florida with Phyllis and Kori, we were so impressed with his kindness, his wonderful personality, and the obvious love he had for his sister and neice.
We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to you all and will keep you in our prayers.

Phyllis and Rudnick Family,
I was shocked to hear about Brian. Although I went to McAuley with his sister he always harassed us. He was great fun and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

To The Rudnick Family ;
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Brian Joseph I am deeply saddened by his loss. His mother Geri is very good friend of mine in here in Virginia. I've heard many stories about the Rudnick children growing up and have gotten much pleasure out of them. I hope that God's love shines upon all of you and brings you peace and love once again. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Diane,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Such a terrible thing to happen to such a lovely, young family. God will rest Brian's soul and will give you the strengh to continue your life with your lovely kids.

My deepest sympathy

This is just a note to let everyone know what an impact a little brother has had on a big brother's life. Through challenging times and alot of adversity, Brian learned to overcome and rise above ALL that was negative. He always smiled and shared a good word. Because of those "life lessons", in my eyes, he IS and ALWAYS will be the strongest and most gentle man I have ever known. I will treasure our lives together and miss the times we never shared. "Brian Jokis" I LOVE YOU--Your Big Brother

Dear Rudnick family. My name is John Sullivan and I was a friend of Brian's at St. Damian grade school. Brian was a good person and very good to me during our early years. I was very saddened to hear about his death. If I can do anything for you please do not hesitate to let me know. You are in my prayers.

Dear Rudnick Family:

Diane,I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, Brian. It's been a long time since I've seen both of you~even then it was obvious how much Brian loved you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Words cannot express our sorrow on hearing about the death of Brian.

Aunt Ger, I cannot believe we were just talking a couple of weeks ago about how great all of us kids turned out - despite the pain and aggravation we gave our Moms for so many years. Brian grew into a good man and father.

My mom always told me that if we cannot trace God's actions we must trust him. I know Brian is looking down on all of you and sending you his love. Please be assured of my ongoing prayers for all of you - especially for you Aunt Ger, and for Diane, and their children.

BRIAN ALWAYS HAD A GOOD JOKE TO TELL AND A SMILE ON HIS FACE.MAY GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY.

Dear Diane,Jackson,Geri,Joe,Darin,
Phyllis & Megan,
Our deepest sympathies are with you during your time of grief. We are all praying for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Diane, my sadness and shock upon hearing this news is nothing compared to how you must feel at this moment. I don't know if Brian ever mentioned me, but we spent an awful lot of time together while we were growing up. I moved away and we all moved on but for some reason he was never very far from my thoughts. I wish that I had gotten the chance to have Brian introduce his family to me. Judging by the entries in this book, he was rather proud of the life that you and he had built. The thoughts and prayers of my family will be with yours.

Dear Rudnick Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear about Brian's passing. It has been a very long time since I have seen any of you but I have very fond memories of you all. Brian had the first girl/boy party in grammar school and the only reason my mom let me go was because it was at the Rudnick's. I will keep you all in my prayer's and I know Brian will be watching over you. God speed Brian.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I am sorry we never got to meet you and your family, nor see Brian again. We are thinking of you

Phyllis,

My condolences to you and your family. I don't have the words to make the pain go away for any of you, but if there is anything I can do for you, I am here. You and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Diane,Jackson,Geri,Joe,Darin,
Phyllis & Megan,

All of you as well as Brian are in our prayers.

Love Uncle Pete & Aunt Bridget

Diane,
I just want you to know you'll never be far from my thoughts and prayers. Brian had such an unforgettable personality that I wish I could have been around him more, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet him(and his contagious smile). He will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Love, Jennifer and Memo Orozco

I am very sorry for your loss. I used to attend Oak Forest High School and lived down the block from Brian & Phylis. We had some good memories. Your family will be in my prayers.

My deepest sympathy to you Diane. I am saddened to hear the loss of Brian. I'm glad I had an opportunity to work with him. His smile was definitely contagious; it seemed like hi could cheer anyone up with just a few words. My prayers are with you every day and always will be. Just know he touched so many lives. And he won’t ever be forgotten. God bless.

Diane - my condolences go out to you and your family for the loss of Brian. May your hearts and minds be filled with precious memories to help you through this time and throughout the years.

Dear Diane and family,
Although we only met once a couple summers ago for Jackson's party, I met Brian at the LaGrange Hospital job and worked together at the Schaumburg job. Brian was sharp, strong and vital to all our tasks. Brian also had the big heart. I remember him telling me stories of Jackson and seeing the happiness in his eyes. I also remember him showing-off pictures of "Miss Mimi" too. His personality, sensitiveness and exuberance is the Brian we know and will forever live in our hearts. Diane, take comfort in knowing he was loved, respected and will be painfully missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Your friends,
Teresa Munoz and Maricela Silva

Diane, my thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in this difficult time.

Holding you in my thoughts and prayers,

Diane, my prayers are with you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Diane and Family, it's hard to imagine the pain you feel at this time. Continue to hold dear the memories you built together and cherish the short time you shared. Please be comforted with the knowledge that you will again see Brian again soon in the resurrection. John 5:28, 28

Diane, I can't possibly imagine how difficult this is for you. Brian is loved by many, and will be greatly missed. You are in my thoughts & prayers. And Brian's smile will always be in my memory. What a great person.

Brian's friends meant so much to him. He let that show every time he was around us. He was alot of fun and cared about everyone. I will miss his big smile. He was also my daughters Godfather. I will never forget how proud he was to except that honor. He will be missed by so many.

Love Always,
Kathy Lynch

Know that God and all who know and love you are with you and your family now and as you go forward.

Brian, I will never forget your big hearty laugh, your ability to find good in all people. I will miss Ehh...LYNCH!!!and seeing a tattooed construction worker talk baby talk to a 4lb doggy named Mimi. His love for legos. Brian wore his heart on his sleeve and what you saw is what you got.We should all use this tragedy to remind us that life is precious. We should all reconnect with our friends and loved ones and enjoy the time we have. I Love You Bri...I will never forget you and the things you have taught me(how to tie a fishing knot) Love Chris Lynch

Sorry for your loss, I am out of town and was so shocked to hear the news. Brian was always one of my favorite guys who worked for me, I always enjoyed when he'd stop in to say hello, I always felt Brian was such a wonderful person. Everyone who worked with Brian at Tinley Ice Co. will miss him.
