darlene and i just contributed. rudy has helped so many of us and is one of the kindest southern gentleman you will ever know. you know he texted me sunday morning before this wishing me happy fathers day and does every year. what a gem.
please consider helping him and his wife out. no way insurance can cover everything he has.
when this happened to andrew steele, the coach community helped him out a great deal as well.
rudy is small in stature but a giant among us as a friend and brother..

When you look up Newell Guru in the dictionary you'll find Rudy ready and willing to help.

All I know is when I needed help Rudy was there. I'm with Tom on hoping will can all rally around him and Carolyn in this time of need.

Ditto to all of the positive comments and stories
When I bought our coach, stop #1 was a wonderful couple in AZ
Second stop was with Rudy in TX, what a gentleman
After hearing this horrible news and confirming that they were physically ok i sent him a message and i have also shared this with the Newell fakebok group:

I simply have no words...I copied the text of this news from a friend a Prevost group and posted on the Newell fakebok group and apparently have been banned (someone sent me a messagesaying the post would probablybe removed)...I cannot even see that the group exists so obviously I cannot share this news, let alone the gofundme link
If anyone has any info or insight, please let me know

The GoFundMe website says the total now over $24k. Thats great! I texted briefly with Rudy and he said that Carolyn is in hospital with heart issues. (Not great)
They need our prayers, thoughts and support now more than ever. If you have not donated, please consider helping!

Here is another update.
Carolyn was put in the hospital Monday to deal with cheat discomfort and elevated heart enzymes. Bunches of different tests resulted in cardiologists want an angiogram and maybe a stent if a blockage is found. That is set for Wednesday at 11. So, let you know more then.
Thanks for everyones concern and support. It helps a bunch

What a terrible thing to have happen & for them to have to go through.
Our thoughts are with them.
