Rudy, you were always such a kind and gentle soul - a man of integrity and immense human spirit. Those of us who knew you from the 9/11 Tribute Center will always remember you as a very caring person. The friendship that you showed to everyone, and especially to your colleagues lost on 2/26/93 will always be remembered. I learned so much from you about honor and respect, and about how we can turn our grief and pain into something positive in order to make the world a better place. You now join the angels who have passed before you. I know for sure that all those that you have made a commitment to honoring are now welcoming you with open arms. Rest easy, my friend. Tomorrow, I will dedicate my 9/11 Memorial Walking Tour to you, but rest assured that I will never, ever forget you.
Your friend,
Joan Mastropaolo
