Condolence: My condolences to the Hikel family on the passing of Rudolph Hikel. I remember Rudolph's Mom and Dad, as John and Tutla were my God father and God mother! I met them several times while visiting them with my parents Joseph C. Simon [of Millinocket] and Cecile (Plourde) Simon when I was in high school during the 1950's. I wish I had known about Rudolph as I could have easily visited him on Orono, as I live in Hampden, Maine just a few miles to the south. God bless the family and may they find consolation in memories of his wonderful life.

Condolence: My deepest sympathies to the Hikel Family on their loss. Not just a great man, but a gentleman and friend as well. He always had kind words for me, and will not be forgotten.

Condolence: I send you my most sincere condolences and greatest sympathies on Rudy's passing. I have wonderful memories of many happy moments during my childhood spent with Rudy, Barbara and all the Hikel cousins. Rudy was a wonderful gentleman. May you find comfort in your memories.
