JERRY RUDNEY

Condolences & Memories (35 entries)

• Just found about this and it's very sad. As a child and teen growing up, he was one of my favorite Elders in the East Kildonan congregation. He always did an awesome job on the WT during those years. Now he sleeps, like so many in the Winnipeg area, waiting for the resurrection. Condolences to Judy and family for such a tremendous loss. - Posted by: John Wallace (Friend of Family) on: Sep 16, 2014

• Judy, Clint and Rachel my heart goes out to you in the loss of such a warm and loving husband and father. Although I never got to know Jerry and you Judy as well as I would have liked I do count your wonderful son Clint as one of my very dear friends. The times I did spend with Jerry & you, Judy either at gatherings etc it was always so obvious what a beautiful, joyous loving couple you were and just how strong that third cord, Jehovah's holy spirit was. What a beautiful example you both are to all of us. I know Jerry will be greatly missed but we look forward with great anticipation to seeing him soon in Jehovah's wonderful new world where neither pain, nor suffering nor death will ever rip our hearts apart again. May Jehovah's strong arms of comfort be around you all. - Posted by: Bonny Rogers (friend) on: May 27, 2014

• My condolences to Jerry's "fsmily". I worked with Jerry for many years at HSC [WGH]. He was a colleague of much knowledge in the OR., also as a kind friend. May you rest in your many memories of Jerry. Lorna Sinnaeve - Posted by: Lorna Sinnaeve (friend) on: May 27, 2014

• What a privilege it is to have your family as part of our lives. Jerry was always ready with kind words and Judy with a warm smile. A great example to us all showing Jehovah's qualities and principles in his life. A true friend of Jehovah, loyalty is never unrewarded. When Vicki's sister, Sue Ozuk passed, Jerry was in the operating room, watching her remain loyal to Jehovah, and afterward he drove Harold, Naomi, and John home, giving assistance when his spiritual family needed him most. Just one part of his "legacy". May we all work hard like Jerry did so we can see him again. Good night my brother. - Posted by: Terry and Vicki Wilson (Family frienFamily friend) on: May 26, 2014

• So very sorry to hear about your loss. I remember when Dean was just a little boy and Jerry took him under his wing. Took him out in service Saturday morning. I will always remember Jerry's warm smile. In my eyes you were the model family. You displayed the "fruitage of the spirit" so much in your lives. Such a good example for all of us to follow. I will miss seeing him when I come to visit Winnipeg, but looking forward to seeing him again in new world. May Jehovah's spirit help you to endure the days ahead Judy. I will keep you in my prayers. - Posted by: Joyce Thompson (Friend) on: May 26, 2014

• My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family Judy. I remember being together with you & Jerry many years ago at the old St. Vital Congregation and also the many times you came over to our home (Mom & Dad's) when I was young. This past December our oldest son had to have some surgery. Both Arnie & I spoke to Jerry about it and he gave us reassurance about the surgery and the doctor performing it. It meant a lot to this nervous mother! When we told the doctor about our conversation with him, she told us what a wonderful, kind person Jerry was as well. (She had worked alongside him in the past.) We look forward to seeing Jerry again in the new world! - Posted by: Shauna Alander (Aspinall) (Friend) on: May 25, 2014

• I was privileged to attend Elder's School with Jerry last year. He consistently impressed me with his comments during class. They displayed depth, wisdom, maturity and experience. During that time I quickly realized what an asset he would be in his congregation; whether as a shepherd one on one, or as a member of the BOE where his input will surely be missed immensely. And on top of that, years of work with the HLC. Well done. - Posted by: Keenan Vincent (Friend) on: May 25, 2014

• Judy & family, so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I just found out today (May 24th) otherwise I would have come to the funeral. Sending prayers & hugs your way..... - Posted by: Valerie Lulashnyk (cousin) on: May 24, 2014

• It was a blessing to share Jerry's legacy and his story today at his funeral and to join in solidarity with Judy and family, Betty and Don and family and Dennis and Cathy and family in remembering the "Prince of a Man" that was our Jerry Rudney. His joy, kindness, generosity of spirit and immense compassion to all of our family and many more colleagues, friends and associates are symbols of his faith moving into action for us all. He will be remembered and missed always. - Posted by: JANEJANEJane (cousin) on: May 24, 2014

He remains in our hearts until we see him again. - Posted by: Gene and Linda and Aryus (Spiritual family.) on: May 24, 2014

• Our hearts go out to you Judy. We wish we were close by so that we could give you a big hug. It was a real privilege to serve with Jerry in Jehovah's Organization. His work with the HLC was a real blessing for many of us brothers. I enjoyed our long talks, he was a good sounding board and a pillar in the congregation. Jerry will be missed and we will look forward to seeing him again in the new system. - Posted by: Ted and Betty Millar (Friend) on: May 23, 2014

• Our Dearest friend Judy, we love you so, so very much, and already miss dear oh Jerry, He was our second spiritual father, we have nothing but good memories of him. He was always my favorite elder in the cong. And that will never change, he would always go out of his way for others, and he was definitely always there for me. But Jerry you Are in Jehovah's hands which means You Are now safe, we cannot wait to see you again, and Tatyana and Elias love you and Judy as theIR other set of grandparents and also Uncle Clint. We can't wait till the fulfillment of Rev. 21:4, our thoughts and prayers are with the family. And Jerry at the hospital you told us to take care of your wife, well no worries there: love you my dear Judy.xx - Posted by: Nicolas and Claudia (Friends) on: May 23, 2014

• Judy and Family - Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Jerry will be missed. He always displayed kindness and graciousness towards all. He was always willing to help at a moment's notice. We will always remember and treasure his kindness during my mom's illness and his help during her final months. We look forward to Jehovah's assurance of the promised new world where death will be no more! With Love - Posted by: Jason & Sandi Horgan (Friends) on: May 23, 2014

• We will miss our friend and neighbour very much. Summer won't be the same without seeing him out & about cutting his grass, cleaning up his yard, etc. In everything Jerry did it was always to bring praise and honor to Jehovah. What a wonderful example. Our deepest sympathy to Judy and her family. And remember I am only 10 seconds away! - Posted by: Laverne & Karen (Friend) on: May 23, 2014

• To my lovely auntie Judy and cousins Clint and Rachel, he left us too soon. There were so many more stories to be told, so many more trips to take, so many more memories to create with family and friends. Our family has lost a tremendous human being. Uncle Jerry gave of himself so freely, to his family, his friends and extended spiritual family. I am very proud to have had an uncle so special and well-respected in so many facets of his life. I will miss your warm smile uncle, but one day, I would consider myself and others fortunate to see that welcoming smile again. - Posted by: Tamara Johnson-Suarez (Niece) on: May 23, 2014

• We remember when you moved back into the east Kildonan congregation. You and Jerry brought with you thoughtfulness, kindness and hospitality, an outstanding trait of the both of you. He will be so missed. You were such a part of Jehovah's family of brothers and sisters. He came to many a ball game to give support to our young ones and our family remembers him fondly. He was a Spirtual man who taught many to find joy in serving our creator. We look forward to the day of seeing him again soon. - Posted by: Harvey and Linda (Friends) on: May 22, 2014

• I remember Jerry came to the hospital to see me and he always had a smile for me and said a prayer. He was especially kind when I lost my husband and had a hug. He will be missed by me. My sincere sympathy to your family. - Posted by: Musa lien (Friend for many years ) on: May 22, 2014

• Clint is a true testament as to what a wonderful father Jerry must have been. I bumped into Clint's dad on only a few occasions over the years when Clint lived in my building. I always thought to myself what a wonderful gentleman & role model he must have been. And that by just knowing Clint was his son. My heart goes out to the family. - Posted by: Arnold Gardner (Former neighbor and friend) on: May 22, 2014

• I will miss working with Jerry in the First Aid Departments as well as his cheery disposition. I am saddened by his loss but know too that his relief is here and now he can wait until the resurrection and we can see his dear face again. Rev. 21:3,4 is a great comfort to all. - Posted by: Evelyn Smirnos (Friend and Sister) on: May 22, 2014

• Jerry loved Jehovah and his fellowman. He was discerning and especially gifted with wisdom and discernment, even as a young man. We treasured the hospitality of his family. He lives in Jehovah's memory (John 5:28) - Posted by: Arthur Beyko (Friend) on: May 22, 2014

• Our deepest sympathy to you Judy and your family... Losing someone we loved is indeed a heartbreaking moment, we know how does it feel as David lost her mom and I, Jenny just recently lost my Dad too...so we feel for you.. But we know this is just temporary and very soon we will see them again on Paradise on earth as Jehovah God's wonderful promise to us. (Psalms 37:29) Jerry has been a great help to our family during our difficult times in the hospital, he was always there to look after us everyday! We always got a chance to say hi and have a little talk in the Conventions and Assemblies so he will certainly be missed!!! Take care and our warm Christian love to all!!! - Posted by: David & Jenny Dela Cruz (Friend) on: May 22, 2014

• We are heartbroken at losing such a dear, loving and caring friend. Jerry certainly was there for my (Rob) family when it was needed over 20 years ago during my father's illness. His smile and "bounce" was always an encouragement and will continue to be. Thankfully, his sleep will be short. Soon, we'll all be lining up (really long lines) to welcome him back in perfect health. Judy and family....please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. May Jehovah and all your friends comfort you. Our love to you all! - Posted by: Rob and Heather McLaughlin (Friends) on: May 22, 2014

• I'm grateful to have been touched by Jerry's kindness here in Burlington, ON. In just a short conversation at the the Hall, he discerned my difficult personal situation and read Isa 41:10 in such a way that has fortified me through many anxious and fearful situations that have arisen since his visit last year to his son, Clint. Thanking Jehovah for such a brotherhood, where ones show true Christian love! Looking forward to seeing our dear brother in Jehovah's new world ! With deepest sympathy to the Rudney family. - Posted by: Karen Kervanka (Friend) on: May 21, 2014

Psalms 34:17,18 - Posted by: Sam Lower (Friend) on: May 20, 2014

• Judy and family. While our paths rarely met the past 25 years, I can still see the welcome smile of both of you. I recall the last brief conversation I had with Jerry, a year ago. He was always so kind. I have thought of you frequently and will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. While I do not know your pain, I do know it is painful. You need the love of the brotherhood, they will be there for you. You and Jerry have given so much in the past, it is now your time to receive and accept. Warm love. - Posted by: Pat Green (Friend) on: May 20, 2014

We look forward to Jehovah's promise of a new world where "death will be no more" (Rev.21:3-4). Death is truly an enemy but everlasting life is a promise from our Heavenly Father. It will be such a joy to be reunited with Jerry very soon and enjoy life the way it was meant to be! Our deepest sympathies to your family. We love you very much!
