To the Rudisell Family I was saddened to hear of your loss. I will always remember when Louis and Lannie came to Atlanta years ago to see Deloris and I. We talked and laughed for hours. I will always remember the visit and school days with you and Totsie. Some people bring a smile to our lips every time we think of them. They are a constant blessing. This was Louis. May you find comfort and strength in the days to come in knowing that your love one is in Heaven. With Deepest Sympathy.

Dear Mrs. Mary, I am so very sorry for your loss. Kevin and Leslie I send you and your family my deepest condolences. Lean on GOD during this difficult time. Your hearts will be heavy, but thankfully you have decades of memories with him. My memory is at your house ordering pizza with Leslie as kids while my parents were spending time with you Mrs. Mary and Mr. Rudy laughing and just having a ball. Hold on to those fun memories. And know that while his body has expired, his soul is infinite. May GOD bless the Rudisell family with strength, patience, understanding, and love. Love Levon (Saunders) Handsome

With profound sympathy and care to Louis Rudisell's family, my generational friend, and J.H.Gunn, High School 1964 classmate, I bring this message. Our maternal parents and grandparents were long - time friends and worshipped together at Saint Paul Presbyterian Church. Louis and his wife, Mary Stafford Rudisell we were in my first grade together. In other words, the pain of your loss runs deep with my husband, Melvin Thompson, and me. We last saw "Rud" and "Totsie at our 50th Anniversary celebration in June 2019. Our grief is our last expression of deep love to our long - time friend and his family. With great love, Queen Norwood Thompson and Melvin R. Thompson

Mr. Rudy(as we affectionately called him) was a great neighbor to my family for many years on April Ridge Lane. We had dinner, parties, spontaneous trips to Myrtle Beach with him, Mrs. Mary, Kevin and Leslie. They moved to Greensboro and I would go by to visit them while in college at NCA&T. They have always been more like family to us. They were there for me when my parents died as well as the death of my only sibling in September. He was a wonderful man, with lots of love and laughter. We will truly miss his smile, love and always being there for us. We will keep in touch with the family and they know we are here for whatever you need. Mrs. Mary, Kevin, Leslie and family. Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort and strength. Love all of you! Eric, Tracy and Myles Davis

For my dear brother-n-law/ friend as he always called me. You will be missed tremendously the laughter and jokes but will always be remembered. Endurance comes in the night but joy cometh in the morning. Rest in the Heavenly Father’s loving arms.

Rudy’s wife is my cousin and I’ve known him and his family time for many years. For me it’s amazing to have known a man that every time you saw him, he was always friendly, joking and just flat out fun. What a wonderful man that from my perspective, all about family. He will be missed and I’m thankful he married in my family to my beautiful cousin Mary!!

Mr. Rudy you will truly be missed. I will always remember your smile, laugh and kind spirit. You were like a big teddy bear always full of love. Thank you for blessing us while you were here. You are now free of suffering and pain. Rest easy and watch over Mrs. Mary. You will always be remembered and never forgotten.

We were so saddened to hear of your lost we will keep. The family in prayer. Love you and God bless you all. Chesley & Ellen Smith

A cousin who will be truly missed. Rudy loved life. He once offered me a ride on his motor cycle, saying: "I'll come by your house and get you." I thanked him and politely declined, but he did not let me forget the invitation. Gone from us is that smiling face, The cheerful, pleasant ways, The heart that won so many friends In bygone, happy days. A life made beautiful by happy deeds, A helping hand for other's needs. To a beautiful life comes an end. He died as he lived, Our very dear cousin and friend. (Adapted from all-great quotes.com)

I miss you already and I am feeling lost without you here. More than a brother in law you were like a big brother to me. I am going to miss you so much, my heart is broken and I know you are in a better place no more pain to bear. I also know you are home having a good time with your mom and dad and Muh. Rest in in Jesus arms and know you will always be special to me and my family. Love you and holding onto the memories.
