Michael Rudd Obituary

So sorry for your loss. After watching a piece on Sunday morning about Paul I felt Michael was the same Michael Rudd that sat next to me in homeroom at Thomas Jefferson JH in Fairlawn, NJ,1956. After all these years I still remember him. He wrote in our graduation booklet that he loved baseball and his ambition was to make money. I believe he moved away after Junior High. Good memories of our childhood.

Gloria, Paul, and Mandy,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear the news of Mike's passing. He was my mentor and a Kansas City icon. It's without doubt that the fond memories will keep him in our hearts forever.

Mandi-
I was reading the review on Paul's new movie last Friday in the Kansas City Star and learned of your father's passing. I am so sorry.
Spending time in your home with your family as we were growing up allowed me see how great of a man he was.
I am sure he will be missed.

Gloria, I've thought so much about you this past year and the road you all had to travel. My prayers are with you and your family.

Gloria, Paul and Mandi-My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. When I think of each of you I always then think of your family too. May your bond with each other get you through this difficult time.

To Michael's Family.

My condolences on your loss. I had the priviledge of being on one Michael's World War II Tours and his knowledge and passion turned the trip into an extraordinary experience. He made history come alive with his stories! His contributions to "ensuring that the past will not be forgotten" have touched many people. I hope that someday I have the opportunity to place a remembrance stone on his memorial.

Dear Gloria, Paul and Mandy,
I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Michael. He had a thirst for life and travel that was felt by everyone in his presense. My grandfather is forever in his debt by making possible the retracing of his footsteps in WWII a few summers ago. May God bless each of you.

Dear Gloria, Paul and Mandy,
We have kept you all in our prayers over the course of Mikes illness and we are deeply sorry for his loss. He was a dynamic man and loved his family and friends. We feel blessed to have known him and he will be with you all in spirit forever. Thank you Mandy for all the messages you conveyed. it meant so much.

Gloria, Mandi and Paul--
Words cannot begin to express how deeply saddened we are by your tragic loss. We hope it is of some small comfort to know your family are in the hearts of the many who called Paul their Friend.

Mandi, We are very sorry to hear about your family's loss. I remember your father vividly from the gatherings you held at your PVKS home. His personality resonated, and he made an immediate impact on me. I felt a stong sense of how proud you were of him, and he of you. My own father passed away on Oct 11th, 2008, and I know how sorrowful you must be. We share in your grief.

Gloria,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Paul and Mandi. Mike was such a great man. It was definitely a pleasure and privilege having been able to work with him. He will be dearly missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Paul:

Even though I never got the pleasure of meeting your Dad, I've never been more sure that I would've loved the guy.

Gloria,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Paul and Mandi. If you need anything, please call.

Gloria and family,
We were so very sorry and shocked to hear of your loss. We have so many wonderful memories of times spent with both of you. Mike will be sadly missed by so many. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
Much Love,

Gloria

I was so sad to read about Mike. I have such good memories of our TWA days and working for such a great " Boss". Wishing you and your family well.

Dear Gloria and family,
I am so sorry about Michael. He was a wonderful, warm, funny and intelligent man. What a loss. I know that my Aunt Royce and Uncle Gus are on their way to KC as I write this. They love you all very much and could never stop talking about all of the times they shared with Michael and Gloria.
