Dear Susan....We are so very sorry to learn of your brother's passing. It's just so difficult to even imagine. Please know we are praying for you and your family. Call to talk or walk ANY time!
Jay was close friend from grade school to high school and I had hope one day that our paths would cross and we could talk of our dreams and what had come true. From what I had read it sounded Jay was able to live some of his dreams.

No matter what a crazy day he was having at R&S, he always had a smile on his face!! He really enjoyed banging around on those vans!! My thoughts and prayers to Jay's family and close friends...he'll be truly missed, but I can just hear him telling those crazy stories to any one who will listen in heaven!! God bless us all with great memories of Jay!!
My prayers and thoughts are with your family. As a night driver at R & S comng in at 5:30pm Jay was still in the garage most nights. He always had a big smile and laugh. I will miss seeing him and talking to him for a few minutes on those nights. Keep that smile Jay. Will miss you.
My deepest simpathy go out to the family especially those grandkids. I came to know him very well over the past few years he loved hoping up their power wheels or giving them rides on the wheeler talked about it all the time. He loved his big boy toys too... Guess thats why we always got along so good... We put on 450 miles this year on sleds balls to the walls guy rode like a 20 year old....A season I will never forget.. RIP Jay
Lora, You are the only Rudolph I know , but my heart is with you in this loss. Thniking of you and praying for you. Jean
Offering my heart-felt condolence to the Rudolph family. May Jay rest in peace.
Jay was my neighbor and good friend. He would always be ramming around with one of his toys and stop by to chat. He sold my daughter her first car when she was 16. So many great memories will be remembered of him. We will greatly miss him just popping in to say hi. With Deepest sympathy Dawn and Gene Donaldson
As a driver for R&S going to the garage and seeing Jay was always a delite! He always asked how I was and was ready know matter how busy he was to take care of my van needs. We talked about our love for our Grandchildren and the Vikings. Jay was so upbeat and so nice to know. I will miss him greatly! My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very sad time.
