Rudy proudly served his country in the military for 42 years. Beginning with the Army Air Corps, the Air Force, Air Force Reserves, and then Navy Reserves, ultimately retiring as Senior Master Sergeant Rudolf Yruegas. He is an excellent example of dedicated service to the country that he loved, and the family thanks him. He was an avid reader and loved to learn new things on a wide range of topics.

He was a lover of words, crossword puzzles, and maintained a sharp mind and vocabulary. Anyone who knew him has heard him say, “Oh, what’s the word, what’s the word…”. He was also an active member of both the Whitehall and Reynoldsburg Senior Centers where he would enjoy every Euchre or card game he could find. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. Interment at Galloway Cemetery, in Galloway, Ohio with military honor guard. An online memorial will be available at www.kauberfraley.com
