Each time Rudy came home to Kansas, he and Ducky were memory makers. How he enjoyed teasing the kids, eating homemade soup (asking for it even in hot weather),
picking veggies and cantaloupe from our garden, sitting and talking for hours, going to the Monument HS reunion, visiting the veteran's memorial in Oakley where five Weigel brothers are honored for their service, and the never ending stories of "how it used to be."
One of our favorite times was our family taking he and Ducky to a local farm, walking behind the potato digger in the field picking up huge baking potatoes. At least the next two meals were baked potatoes with garden toppings. Many laughs were had that day.
When he could no longer travel, a visit to Tacoma with my son, Michael, is a treasured memory. In the years since then, our visits became almost weekly phone calls which sure will be missed. Our lives were blessed with Rudy sharing himself in so many thoughtful ways. May he rest in peace! May you, his family and friends, be at peace knowing the happiness he brought to so many.
Robert (youngest brother of Rudy), wife, Kathy Weigel, and children- Michelle, Julie, James, and Michael
