Rudy was a great coach and mentor. He was a member of the coaching staff of the 1976 14-0 LLoyd Football State Champions.
One of the greatest teams in northern kentucky high school football history. We will remember him always.

Rudy, I know you are looking down on us and the approach to the gates of heaven are paved with black and gold, for your beloved Steelers and the gold records you so ably played on the time machine show

the prince of harmony

McNicholas

Please accept my condolences. I just heard about his death. I was Coach’s student manager at McNicholas High School in the mid-1960s. I remember him fondly and appreciate his mentorship. Coaches bring more to the students than coaching expertise. Coach brought that to me and I thank him.

Take care
