David W. RudmanShrewsbury – David W. Rudman, 72, of Shrewsbury, passed away peacefully in his home with his wife by his side on January 17, 2025, from natural causes. He was the loving husband of Linda J. (Tribandis) Rudman, beloved father of Jason W. Rudman and his wife Angela, and Jennifer L. (Rudman) Daby and her husband Jonathan, and cherished grandfather of Liliana Rudman, all of Worcester.

David was born December 12, 1952, in Worcester to Herbert P. and Jean L. (Wainwright) Rudman and raised in Auburn, MA. He graduated from Auburn High School and earned his Bachelor’s from Assumption College. He later went on to graduate from the W.P.I. School of Industrial Management. He spent his career with Babcock Power Inc. retiring in 2020 as a Senior Project Manager.

While in college, working at the former Professional pharmacy in the city, his future Mother-in-Law Beverly Tribandis introduced him to her daughter Linda and the rest, as they say, is history. They were married in June of 1975 and were eagerly looking forward to celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year.

In addition to his heartbroken wife, children, and granddaughter, he leaves behind his sister Wendy Fontaine of Westborough, MA, his aunt Paula Shank and her partner Noel Lavallee of Wales, MA, his sister in law Christine Woodward and her partner Bob Zabinskas, a nephew Wayne, and nieces Kristy, Jamie Lynn and her husband Alex, Erica and her husband Carlos, Hannah, and Rachel and her partner Billy as well as several great nieces and nephews that will all miss him dearly.

He is predeceased by his parents, his brother Steven, and his in-laws Beverly and Albin Tribandis.

Anyone that knew David understood that the game of golf was a passion only secondary to the love and care that he took of his family. Becoming a father and then a grandfather brought David immense joy. He was a soft spoken and generous man to his wife, children and friends. In retirement, he kept active playing golf, swimming laps at the YMCA and the highlight of every day was a long walk in the woods, especially at the Wachusett Reservoir, with his bride Linda by his side.

Calling Hours will be held on Sunday, January 26th from 1-3pm at Miles Funeral Home, 1158 Main Street in Holden. A memorial service will follow at 3pm in the funeral home. Family and friends are kindly invited to attend.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice in David’s memory.
