He received medals for Good Conduct, Sharp Shooter, WW II Victory, National Defense, American Defense, Cold War Commemorative medal, and the USAF Commemorative Medal. Rudy received training on radar systems at Boca Raon, FL and Biloxi, MS, as well as MIT. He continued his work in the United States Air Force as a civilian for 28 years in the areas of radar design, maintenance engineering, and logistics. After his time in the Air Force he owned several of his own small businesses before retiring.

He also served as Chairman of the Brewer City Conservation Commission for 3 years and President of the Brewer Historical Society for 5 years. Rudy was an avid golfer and New England Patriots fan, and coached in Pee-Wee and Junior Baseball Leagues in his younger years.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Jeanette Larez; siblings, Raymond Larez, Enedina Castaned, Tibursio “Bucho” Larez, and Olga Onsurez.
Rudy is survived by his daughters, Cheri White, and Alyce McNeil; son, Mark Larez; grandchildren, the apples of his eye, Stephen and Heather Elkins; the McNeil clan, Michael, David, Patrick, and Mathew; a very special sister-in-law, Linda Hansen; special niece, Debbie Laurie and her son, Jacob Cyr; sister, Miranda Darcy; and nephew, Saul Ray Sanchez; as well as many other extended family and friends.
