I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons that are taught down there, I want this child to learn. I look the wide world over in my search for teachers true and from the throne that crowns life's lanes, I have selected you. Now, will you give him all your love, nor think the label vain, nor hate me when I come to call him and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say."Dear Lord, thy will be done, for all the joys a child will bring, the risk of grief will run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we have known, forever grateful stay. And shall the angels call him home much sooner than we planned. We'll brave the bitter grief that comes. AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND."

Pendall -- Rudolf J. Pendall--Born Rudolf Eduard Marius Josef Cornelius Puppendahl, May 1, 1915, in Limburg province, Netherlands. Died February 22, 1998 at home in Albuquerque, of cancer. From his first job to his last efforts, even long after retirement, he advocated forcefully to bring high-quality, affordable health care to everyone, regardless of income or background. His friends and family will remember him as a man of unquestionable honor and integrity. He has enriched our lives. His father, Josef Puppendahl, died in World War I when Rud was three; his mother, Marl Palmen, died when he was 11. Rud came to the US with his sister Magda in 1936 because he did not wish to respond to the"greetings" he had received from Hitler to join the German Army.

His father's sister, Mother Concordia, of the nursing order, Sisters of St. Mary, was his and Magda's American sponsor. He received a degree in journalism from the University of Wisconsin in 1938 and a Master of Science in Administrative Medicine from Columbia University in 1956. In 1940 Rud was naturalized as a US citizen. During World War II, he helped build bombers at Willow Run, Michigan. After the war he was editor of Hospital Progress, journal of the Catholic Hospital Association, and later served as Executive Vice President of a hospital public relations company. From 1960 to 1969, Rud was Executive Director of the Hospital Council of Maryland, where he instituted such cost-control programs as statewide group purchasing, computer-sharing, and industrial engineering. He came to Albuquerque in 1970 as Executive Director of the Mid-Rio Grande Health Planning Council. At the Council he worked with community members to develop the first areawide health plan to prevent duplication of services and fill in gaps where care was missing. During the late 1970's he worked as a consultant in health planning, chaired the Health Issues Council, and taught health planning at the Anderson School of Management, UNM. After retirement, he prepared a manual for Albuquerque Seniors Helping Seniors,"Medicare and Private Health Insurance for New Mexico Seniors." He also worked with People Living Through Cancer during its early years and helped organize the Albuquerque Hemlock Society. Rud is survived by his wife, Joanne; daughter, Elise and husband, Gary Bolton of Boulder, CO; son, Rolf and wife, Leda Black of Ithaca, NY; cousins, Magda and Bill Quinlan of Bakersfield, CA, and the Palmen family in the Netherlands.
