It is with extreme sadness we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) R. Rudge. He was born January 3, 1943 and went to join the lord January 25, 2017.

Most of us know Bob as a friend and modeler, either from his 27 year career with Boeing or from the years he spent as a multi- table vendor at all the local swap meets and trade conventions. Bob always prided himself on having the best kits and detail parts, if he didn’t have it he could always find it somewhere.

Bob had been fighting cancer for several years, and is survived by his wife Emma Rudge and his daughter Michelle Rudge-Green, step-children Gene, Scott, and Tamera Reisenauer, sisters Leilani Walsh and Linda Curtis and her husband Michael, and granddaughter Arianna Huthmacher among other family.

As a proud Veteran, Bob will be honored in a service at the Tahoma National Cemetery, 18600 SE 240th, Kent, 98042, on February 7th at 1:30pm. The Memorial Ceremony will follow at the Veterans Memorial Park, 405 E St. NE, in Auburn at 3 pm.
