To the most sarcastic being on this planet I've ever known - I love and miss you. When I found this page, I knew I had to comment.

It was 1st grade = Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Glen Ellyn. The rest is history. Our friendship brought both our families together. Your pops, Big Bob (with his heart of pure gold), taught our Basketball team multiple years. That was awesome.

I still remember driving home with you guys after practice regularly. You'd drop me off, I'd be tired from practice, all was well in the world. We practiced in GBW's field house at one point, thinking we were cool before being in HS. LOL.

I lived so close, in Elementary and Jr. High, Rudy and I would hang out and ride bikes/skate/walk to each others houses. I'm 29 years old now, the memories are still as crystal clear as yesterday.

I'm forever grateful for the smiles, laughter and love you brought the world, my friend. Until next time,

CS

The Gormans: We are deeply sorry for your loss. Rudy was a sometime guest at our home. My son, Sam Bent said to me, "Rudy liked everyone." He was the kindest, non-pretentious young guy in our Village. He did not judge people. He was genuine. I personally remember his manners: "Thanks Mrs. Monick, thanks for having me over." "No problem, come over any time..."

Dear Bob, Kathy, Alyssa & Remy,

So, so sorry for your loss. I have many happy memories of Rudy & Sean playing Golden Eagles football together, beginning in third grade. Their friendship continued over the years through middle school & high school and after graduation when everyone moved onto the next phase of their lives. Rudy always had a smile or a mischevious grin "at the ready" every time he saw me. May all of your happy memories and the embrace of your family & friends comfort you during this difficult time.

Dear Family of Rudy Gorman
