Rudy Evangelista was born on April 19, 1934 he labored as a union representative for many years and got into the horse business as an owner with first Norman and then Jeffrey Dauplaise.
Many, many years ago Norman knew the SOA of NY was looking for a field representative of its own and recommended as a perfect fit his owner who was a local resident.
Rudy not only did the job but exceeded the original expectations we had for him.
Rudy along with Mike Santa Maria, Al Pinsi, Vincent Aurrigema and John Brennan have all served the SOA of NYs members admirably.
Our friend Rudy moved away and resettled into a well deserved retirement in Toms River NJ, unfortunately he left us July 16th 2020. Rudys wife Jeanette predeceased him 2015.
Due to Covid restrictions a funeral will take place Wednesday July 29, 2020 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Toms River, NJ
