He enjoyed spending time with family and never missed an opportunity to sit down and break bread. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, kindness, and strength, all qualities he never lost even as he valiantly fought his battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Rudy is survived by the love of his life and wife of 62 years, Lydia Quintana of Stockton, CA. His two sons: Gilbert Quintana and his wife Darlene of Galt, CA, and Steven Quintana of Sparks, NV.
