Donald Keith Rudloff, BHS 1945

Donald Keith Rudloff was the son of Fay Beatrice Duncan (1905-1946) and Edward Charles Rudloff (1901-1975). Don graduated from Burbank High School in 1945.

Don was a great athlete. In the early 1940's, Technicolor Pictures, in Burbank, hired him as a watchman, so that he could play softball for the Technicolor team. In the late 1940's, he wanted to become a policeman for the Burbank Police Department, but was refused because he did not meet the minimum height requirements.

Don was briefly married and when his wife gave him an ultimatum of either her or playing golf, he selected golf. After moving to Hawaii, he frequently came to Saint George, Utah to participate in the World Senior Games. He lived with Elizabeth 'Liz' E. Kauka for many of his later years in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Don died at the Hospice Hawaii Kailua Home, Kailua, Honolulu County, Hawaii of pancreatic cancer.
