It’s indeed still hard to accept the unprecedented passing away of our colleague and brother Rudolf. He had a truly kind and chilled personality. However I just wish that we all take heart and stay strong during this difficult experience. My heartfelt condolences to all Rudolf’s friends and family. We’ll miss him & will always remember him.

Lieve Rudolf, Dit was wel even een schok om te lezen. Ik kende je voornamelijk van de beginperiode van deze voetbalgroep. Je was toen altijd vrolijk, in voor een geintje, open als persoon en kon gewoon lekker ballen. Rust zacht Rudolf. Mijn condoleances en heel veel sterkte gewenst aan de familie en vrienden met dit verlies.

Lieve voetbalvrienden van Ruud! Wat ontzettend fijn om al deze mooie woorden te lezen over onze zoon Rudolf. Ik hoop dat hij ergens op een wolkje toch nog stiekem mee kan lezen, want oh, wat voelde hij zich eenzaam in de Coronatijd! En wat dierbaar zijn jullie gevoelens voor hem! Jullie hebben, dacht ik te hebben gelezen, een lijntje naar "boven" met hem gemaakt, een minuut stilte... Ik dank jullie voor jullie liefde en vriendschap voor hem! Alle liefs, Charlotte (van der Sandt), zijn moeder.....
Charlotte van der Sandt (Rudolf's 👩 MOTHER)

It was nice to know you, even if only for a short while - always great to chat and play with you, as you always had a great team spirit. You were always kind and genuine, and contributed to the overall great atmosphere at footie. You will be dearly missed. Was also always nice to run into you around our neighborhood and see a friend. May you Rest In Peace, Ruud. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Dear friends of Rudolf. How deeply I feel touched by all your heartful contributions. I feel we share the same greeves. It's very helpful that we find our way to do this together. Some other friends which I've met at the Humaniversity in Egmond aan Zee really support me in a groupsapp. One of them sent this video from Nike which helps me to overcome these difficult days. I will put of here, maybe it is helpful for you too. https://youtu.be/WA4dDs0T7sM . Love you all dear friends, allthough I know just a few of you. Rudolfs friend and father . . One thing more I like to share with you. The last weeks of his life I went regularly with Rudolf to the Zuiderpark. It was a surrounding for him which felt good with nice memories. We brought our football which we had bought with us and there we played with it trying to hit eachothers bag. It was really helpfull to have some dun in this way together. It's also were I took his last photo, which is on his saying goodbye card. I love you all were his last words. We love you too dear son, with all our heart.
Chrisjan Leermakers (Rudolf's 👨 FATHER)
My deepest condolences to his family and friends and May his soul Rest In Peace. I am deeply shocked to hear the sad news. He was one of the nicest and most social football player of the group, He loved football and played with a lot of passion and spirit. Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend his funeral to pay respect (due to travel) but I will always remember him as a nice friend. Everybody loved Rudolf’
Saba Fakes
Wow... My condoleance to the family and friends. Rudolf was a very friendly, humble and open-minded guy that was always in for a chat. Really just a great guy. We will miss playing with you man. Rest in peace.
Brian
Altijd als we gingen voetballen, hadden we wel een leuk praatje. Het voelt dus onwerkelijk om te beseffen je niet meer onder ons bent. Ik herinner je als een hele sympathieke, grappige en intelligente gast. Ik wens alle dierbaren en naasten heel veel sterkte met dit verlies!
Christian
It was a pleasure to share some moments with such a nice and friendly guy as you. I hope God can give you a better place than earth and bless your soul...my condolences to all the family Rest easy Rudolf 🙏🏼🎗

Wat een verlies, gecondoleerd en heel veel sterkte aan de familie van Rudolph.
Ruben
Rudolf was one of the first people to come over and say hey when I joined football. That speaks volumes to his kind and friendly nature; he always made people feel welcome. I will remember him as calm and funny. I will also remember one of the last times he played with us, an amazing performance in defence and as goalkeeper (not to mention his amazing top corner penalties). I hope you have peace now brother.
Levi

I did not know Rudolf personally much, but we played football together a few times and he was friendly and kind. We shared fun moments on the pitch. So I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear about his passing. My thoughts are with Rudolf - may you rest in peace! And I'd like to wish my condolences and a lot of strength to his family and friends.

Poeh, dit komt wel hard binnen bij me. Vond het altijd leuk om met en tegen je te spelen. Ondanks dat je vaak last had van blessures was je een vaste waarde omdat je het buitenspelen voor volwassenen net als ik ook erg waardeerde. Ik zal je herinneren als een heel gevoelige, lieve, vreindelijke en wijze vent die daarnaast ook altijd wel in was voor een dolletje. Groette je voor het laatst een maand geleden nog toen ik je zag wandelen met je moeder omdat we helaas als gevolg van corona een hele tijd niet meer konden ballen. Hoop dat je je rust hebt gevonden en wens jouw familie en vrienden heel veel sterkte toe de komende tijd. Ik zal je missen!

Rudolf and I played together on Saturdays and some Wednesdays. He was the epitome of niceness and calm. You could see that in the way he talked to People, the way he helped setup the goals etc. He was so selfless he liked to play defense when everyone wanted the glory of scoring goals. I once gave him a simple feedback of going wide to have some time and space when he gets the ball from the keeper during build up. He improved his game massively during the last couple of years doing that and much more. He was apparently good at taking penalties as well. Rudy's passing is beyond sad and hits me and I believe most of us who knew him to the core. Haven't shed a tear in years but I'm glad it came for someone as kind, friendly, loveable and deserving as our own Rudy. RiP

Met ongeloof en verbijstering hoorde ik over het veel te jonge overlijden van Rudolf. Mijn gedachten gaan direct terug naar de mooie momenten tijdens de sportieve ochtenden in het Zuiderpark in Den Haag, en dan met name rondom het spel. We spraken elkaar toen geregeld, tijdens het opzetten van de goals en in de rust. Wat me het meest bij staat is de ontzettend vriendelijke en buitengewoon natuurlijke manier waarop Rudolf sprak. Voorstellingsvermogen en woorden schieten tekort; om te beseffen dat hij nu niet meer onder ons is en te beschrijven hoe dat voelt. Ik wens familie en vrienden veel sterkte met dit vreselijke verlies dat veel te vroeg is gekomen.

my condolances and all the best to family, friends and loved ones. Ruud was very friendly and kind in the footy meetups, and fun the play with or against. Rest in piece Ruud, and may the after life bring you joy and prosperity

Lieve Rudolf, Ik ben geschokt om dit zojuist te lezen. We hebben vaak samen gespeeld in den haag, en ik herinner je als een hele lieve man die hield van het voetbal. We hebben fijne gesprekken gevoerd met veel compassie. Rust zacht, en heel veel sterkte voor familie en vrienden. Liefs Guido
Guido Klep
You will be deeply missed Rudolph... I will forever remember you for your smiles, openness and jokes... You will be always with us out on the pitch! I hope you have found peace where you are!
