Sammy Rudick, 87, of Kingsley, PA, died Wednesday afternoon, January 8, 2020 at Barnes-Kasson Hospital, Susquehanna, PA, after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, the former Joan Drabik.
Born November 2, 1932 in South Gibson, PA, he was the son of the late Wasil and Dora Kozlowska Rudick.
Sammy was a veteran of the Korean War having served in U.S. Army and was a member of the Elk Mountain VFW Post 8488, Lenox, PA. He spent his entire career as a stone quarryman and retired full time from Endless Mountain Stone Quarry, New Milford, PA, but continued to work part time until age 86.
Sammy will be fondly remembered for his hard work ethic which he passed along to his family. He could always be counted on to help friends and neighbors with shoveling snow and cutting grass. Sammy enjoyed the outdoors especially cutting and stacking wood and his famous barbeque chicken will be missed by many.
