Rodolfo "Rudy" Santos

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rodolfo “Rudy” Santos, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend. Rodolfo was born on July 18, 1947 in the Philippines to Pedro & Crisanta Santos, and he peacefully departed this life on September 20, 2026, in Bayonne, New Jersey, where he devoted his life to his family and his work as a dedicated business owner of Rosan Imports, a premier importer of exquisite goods from around the globe.

Rudy's unwavering spirit and commitment to his loved ones shone brightly through every aspect of his life. He is survived by his cherished wife, Priscila Santos, and his two sons, Rodney Santos and his wife Hiroko and Arnell Santos and his wife Megan. He will be fondly remembered as a loving grandfather to Carter, Hanako, Ryu, and Corrine Santos, who brought him immense joy and pride. Rodolfo is also survived by his brother, Roger Santos, and his sisters, Corazon Bernardo and Carmelita Santos Enriquez, who will carry forward his legacy of love and kindness.

Rudy's life was characterized by his deep compassion for others, a fierce work ethic, and a devotion to his family. He made a lasting impact in the lives of those he met, instilling values of hard work, integrity, and togetherness in all who knew him. His gentle demeanor and warm smile will be sorely missed but will live on in the hearts of those he touched.
