You made my first contract days smooth and you proved us that a true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and has the compassion to LISTEN to the needs of others. Your storytelling, our sambal making sessions, champagne drinking, the mangiare shinanigans, and many more crazy and unforgettable things we do together in the team, are the most precious memories I had with you! Working onboard cruise ship is a tough job but I would't have it any other way. You always remind me to be patient and take everything easy, "piano-piano" you said. But, Sir? Why did you left us all? Covid19 sucks!!! We had a lot of great memories onboard because of you. You're one brave and humble soul. I never had the chance to say thank you and sorry to you, Sir Rudy. Thank you for the memories. SiBonyang. Thank you for everything. Please watch over us all seafarers and your loved ones. May your soul rest in peace.” one of Rudy’s friend wrote.
