“Last week the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati lost a committed and humble servant when Father Edward Rudemiller passed away. ``Father Rudy,'' as he was known, was ordained in 1958 and served the people of southwestern Ohio for 47 years before retiring in 2005. A 1950 graduate of Elder High School in Cincinnati, he returned to his alma mater in 1959 to teach religion and Latin for 21 years. In addition to these duties, he was the athletic director from 1962- 1977. He could often be seen on Friday nights at the ``Pit'' strolling the sidelines in support of his Panthers. Although best known for his loyalty to Elder High School and the west side of Cincinnati, Father Rudemiller was equally beloved in his role as parish priest and pastor at parishes throughout the archdiocese. In his later years, Father Rudy fought through illness with dignity and grace. We are grateful for his service and we celebrate his life.”
