Herbert Eugene Rudy

Herbert Eugene Rudy, 92, of Greenville, Ohio, passed away Friday evening, October 4, 2019, at State of the Heart Care Center in Greenville.

Herb was born on September 17, 1927, in Darke County, Ohio, to the late Ora and Treva (Poe) Rudy.

In addition to his parents, Herb was preceded in death by his sister, Mildred Kennedy; and his brother, Lowell Rudy.

He served his country honorably in the United States Army at the close of WWII, earning the WWII Victory Medal.

He then went to work for Stover Feed and Grain which later became Sunny Side Farms. He worked his way to Manager, finally retiring after 20 plus years of service.

After Herb retired, he tried to relax and appreciate time with his family. He took up flower gardening and maintaining what his family called the "best lawn in Greenville". As he got older, he enjoyed watching old western movies.
