Rudy,son of Mary Morales and Ornolfo Sanchez, was born and raised in Delta, Colorado. Entering adulthood, he had a brief stay in California. Then in the early 1970's he moved to Portland, Oregon where he made home until his early passing. He is preceded in death by his father, his mother, his step father Gilbert Herrera, and younger brother Pancho Herrera. Surviving kin: Henry Guzman, Jerry Guzman, Betty Bernal, and Olivia Lara. Also leaving behind his ex-wife Georgia and kids Carmen, Scott and Bunky - and not to forget his dogs, Muffy and Moppy. Rudy led a good life, and was a simple man. He enjoyed his daily walks to stay fit and was always up for a good game of pinochle. Rudy - you will always have a place in our hearts and will be dearly missed, may you rest in peace.
