I was a dear friend and roommate to my dear friend Rudiger Hempell in Clayton , California.  He was loving, kind, generous, great cook, loved life.  He opened his door to rent me a room in Clayton CA around time 9-11-2000 happened. He went to Germany for vacation, friends Bill R. and Kim L  kept me company. ??Rudy's laugh, smile, hugs.Lois Householder 209-770-3065 Sonora, CA (on Facebook).
