He had worked at All Clad for several years, and most recently at Universal Stainless. Mr. Bergles loved the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Penguins. An easy-going, happy-go-lucky, genuine guy, he always wanted to make people happy.  Rudy was rarely seen without his backpack, and enjoyed flea markets, yard sales, and vacations.  However, his greatest joy was spending time with family, and especially his daughter, Ava.
