We lost one of the great ones. First time I met John, I was one of his non union competitors in a meeting, the next time I saw him I was working for him as a Union Member, Thank you John. He was hard on me but never once mistreated me or done me wrong, and you always knew where you stood with him, because John didn’t have a poker face. if he Didn’t like you, he would tell you. RIP Mr. John Rudd.. Prayers to all the Family and Friends.

I worked with John on many projects and he taught me quite alot. Most of it took , some of it didn’t. But John had my respect. I am sympathetic for your loss. I’m sure he will be missed.
