To Annette, Steve, Marcus, Luana, and the De Silva family, on behalf of myself, Marie, and Jean Paul Dookie, we extend our fondest good wishes and blessings in this time of grief. We shall remember Rudolph as the devoted husband, father, business entrepreneur, and hardworking man that he was. Energetic in his later years, always pleasant in disposition, and blessed with long life and the warmth and love of his family around him, of which he was duly proud. Family was everything to him. Peace and Love to you all.
