"It seems like yesterday that I met Rudy in elementary school. He was so funny and just made me laugh any chance he could get. I stayed friends with Rudy until I moved to Iowa in the 8th grade. I remember one time in JROTC back in 6th grade that Rudy made our JEOTC coach laugh. That was a difficult thing to do because he served in the USMC. He knew what bearing was and Rudy made him laugh.. RIP RUDY VILLARREAL III. Life won?t be the same without you in it brother."
In loving memory of
Rudy Villarreal, III
