Mel was born on September 6, 1923, the youngest of 13 children, born to the late John William and Elizabeth (Cambron) Rudloff in Ste. Genevieve County, MO.

Mel was united in marriage to Velma Powers and to this union, five children were born: Cambron, Christopher, Lori, Stacy and Danielle. He loved his family, the St. Louis Cardinals, the river, fishing and hunting and all of his buddies… in that order. Mel lived a full and happy life and was very loved. He will be missed by all.

Mel was preceded in death by his wife, Velma Rudloff; his son, Christopher Rudloff; and parents, John W. and Elizabeth (Cambron) Rudloff.

It was Mel’s wish to be cremated. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.

All arrangements were under the care of the Eaton Funeral Home of Sullivan and Bourbon, MO.
