"The days shined brightly and the nights were never gloomy when you were near.
We go back a long ways when my mother and father raised you. You were like my little brother. Being near you was never boring. We were always close at heart and I will always remember you Rudy. I will miss you, you will not be forgotten, and I will see you soon."
My sincerely condolences to Moses, Hector, Misty and Tina and to Rudy's grandchildren and to his wife Carmen and her family and also to his first wife Mary, mother of his children who he remained friends with.
"GOD Bless Your Soul Rudy."
I Love You,
Uncle Edwin C. Montoya

I'm very fortunate to have made it to Long Beach in time to reconnect with you and hear stories about our Montoya family.
We never got the chance to grow up together and develop those close bonds that some family members do...maybe in the after life?
Your Cousin Always,

To all of Rudy's family my condolences. I haven't seen or spoken to him since I graduated from High School in 1971.

I will always remember Rudy as a kind, gentle, decent guy and a good friend. For just a few years in our lives we were good buddies and then both of us moved on. I will always remember you and the short time we knew each other. God willing, we will meet again someday.
