We will miss the beautiful soul that he was and rich tones of his musical instrument. ~Former Co-worker of Lanier Jr. High School, Mrs. Y. Hull
I extend condolences to the family of Mr. Alfred Rudd. I was in his eighth grade homeroom at Barret's Chapel High School. He was also my social studies teacher. He was always very professional cared about his students and was highly respected. He was also a renowned musician. I heard him perform on several occasions. May you continue to live out his legacy of maintaining excellence in all that you do.
