KOSTER: Rudy

April 24, 2023 By 11 Condolences

KOSTER: Rudy

Rudy Koster passed away peacefully at the Huron Hospice, Clinton on April 24, 2023 surrounded by his sons.
Pre-deceased by his cherished wife of 50 years Lily (2007). Fondly remembered by his loving friend and companion Grace Dollery of Bayfield.
He is survived by his children Randy (Colleen), Steve (Jennifer), Brian (Melissa) and sisters Ineke (Rudy) Margaret (Richard) and pre-deceased by sister Winnie (Arie).
โ€œOpaโ€ was very proud of his grandchildren Alexandra, Josh, Chloe, Toby, Mitch, Catherine, and James. Rudy lived life to the fullest, enjoying his true passions which were family and friends, classic cars and motorcycles and of course he was a self-professed โ€œFoodieโ€ ! He will be dearly missedย  by all that knew him. The family is planning a service and celebration at a date and location to be confirmed. If friends desire, a donation to the Huron Hospice in Clinton would be appreciated.

    My dear brother, he sure was one of a kind. A big heart he had, also a soft heart, although he likes you to think he
    was a tough guy. So capable and smart. He inherited mom’s “golden hands”, he build a house, he fixed cars and of
    course his motorcycle. And he was a foodie, loved good food and loved having a good time and had a great smile.
    We miss you for sure, but knowing you lived life to the fullest, rest in peace and be our guide

    When ever I saw Rudy he always had a funny story to tell. The last time Grace and Rudy stopped in front of my place for a quick visit he had his truck out for a drive! Sending my Condolences to Grace and all the family, he will be missed by them.

    Rudy and Lloyd and I shared some adventures on our motorcycles . Living down the road from Rudy I would stop in and see what he was taking apart or putting back together or making sure he wasnโ€™t trying to climb up the ladder in the trees lol . Rudy would do the same at my house or my shop in Milton . There was never a dull moment with Rudy . He will be deeply missed .

    When I think of Rudy, I remember his zest for life, which included spicy hot sauces, that only he could tolerate, on everything he ate, which sometimes he would work up such a sweat and runny nose at the dinner table and with that itโ€™s funny how he never had a cold๐Ÿ˜„
    He wore his heart on his sleeve for all whom he loved and who had the pleasure of knowing him!
    A full blessed life to be celebrated indeed!!โœจ
    Thinking of you all!๐Ÿ’•
