Rest Peacefully Rich Rulo

**Update** 
The funeral services have been paid in full.  You guys are awesome! It's been almost a month and I cannot imagine how life has changed for Sissy and Richie.
Please continue to offer your support whether it be calls, cards, or texts. They could use it more now that things are starting to go back to normal for all of us. It doesn't  go back to normal for them.  Trying to pay for 2 households worth of bills during a tragedy like this has got to be tough.
I know they'll make it but if you can help  ease just a tad of that burden I know it would remove some added stress. Thanks again for all that you've done. 

On May 8, 2017 at the young age of 57, Rich Rulo passed away suddenly and without warning from a blood clot that stopped his heart. 

Sissy & Richie Rulo's lives are once again turned completely upside down due to a tragedy that never should've  been.  Not only are they left to grieve another immediate family member, they are also struggling to find the funds neccessary to lay this remarkable man to rest in the mannerin which he deserves.

My dear Aunt Sissy is completely lost without him.  He took care of EVERY thing for her. She doesn't even know how to make her coffee the way she likes because he has done this for her every day of their lives together.

My Cousin Richie  is absolutley devasted.  His mentor and bestfriend will no longer be accessible  to provide support and advice for everyday life.   He is left to take care of his mom and the shop without a handbook. He's got some pretty big shoes to fill.

This family has already been through more than most of us could handle.  I often question why they were chosen to carry so much.  In 2004 their beloved Ashley and her unborn child were taken from them in a freak car accident.  

That alone would buckle and break most of us.  Please help me to help them grieve this loss without the added burden of the expense of laying him to rest.  

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of donating online, funds will also be accepted at the funeral home and will be directly applied to the account. They can be mailed or dropped off in person at:

Coplin Funeral Home
910 Taylor Ave
Park Hills, MO 63601

Arrangements are pending at this time and as soon as we know the details I will update this page.

Please keep Sissy, Richie, and Bree in your prayers along with Joel and Cherish and their baby girls.  They are all going to need all of the prayers and support that they can get.

Thank you so very much,

Shelly Brown- Castaldi
