My condolences to all. Rupert was a great man. I had the pleasure of working with him at the Federation. He always had a story to tell and was very proud of his family and his beautiful bride! May he Rest in Peace!

Aaron Mackay:

Always enjoyed hearing a story or two from Rupert during my time at Rocky Gas Co-op. He would always tell me about some of the strange and goofy things that happened over the past thirty year while in Clearwater county.
He always tried to impart some knowledge whenever we would run into each other and I will always be appreciative of that. He will be missed.

Cinda Montgomery:

At this time of sorrow, may you find comfort in the loving memories of Rupert. Sending strength and peace.
