My FB Post...
My brother, Ted Rudow, passed away this morning. For those of us that knew him, I am certain that we can say that we are proud to have known such a selfless, generous, and giving individual, the likes of which I have yet to meet in my life. His life personified positive thinking at it's best, despite the difficulties that Ted faced everyday, being paralyzed on his side, and confined to a wheel chair, living alone for so many years. I thought it quite the coincidence that our cousin, John Rudow, posted a bit of Ted's history from his record-breaking carrier in College Basketball at the Univ. of Cal Berkeley. He was a super-star then, and he still is... finally getting his rewards in Heaven for a life of love and concern, and giving to others that spanned the globe from his little one room apartment in California. There are many of us that will miss you, Ted, and I know that you heard a resounding, "Well Done, my good and faithful servant... Enter into the Joy of the Lord". The message line says.... 'Say something to Ted'... well, in a few words, I love you bro... I know you're in a wonderful place, free of the shackles you had here; overwhelmed by your rewards. I'm sorry that I didn't do more, but I guess I can square all of that when I see you up there someday. Goodbye to a great man of God and friend to so many of us.
I've added a song that is just right for Ted, and sung by Christina Grimmie - "In Christ Alone"... They're in the same place now, maybe they'll get to sing it together.
