Rudolph "Rudy" Paolini We say goodbye to a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, Rudolph Paul
Paolini, of Paradise, who had just passed his eighty-first birthday, when he slipped away on Oct. 21, 2014. Born in Newburgh, New York, on Oct. 10, 1933, Rudy went on to shine all through his school years. He studied at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Pratt Institute. After serving in the Army, he returned to Poughkeepsie, New
York , and to his architectural career. This included a partnership during which
he developed an acoustical system for a local high school. He also designed the
President’s home at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, and
buildings on the Dutchess Community College campus. He would later join the
teaching staff at the same institute. He met his wife to be a the Arthur Murray
Dance Studio, in Poughkeepsie, New York, and on January 16, 1960, he would marry
Alison Knox, in the historic St. Denis Church, in Sylvan Lake, New York. Rudy
and his wife bought the Carriage House in Hyde Park, New York, that had once
belonged to Ellen Roosevelt, Republican cousin to Franklin Delaware Roosevelt.
It was redesigned and became Rudy and wife Alison’s home for the next fifteen
years along with their two daughters. Later he would take a job in Saudi Arabia
which would lead him and his family to California. In California he would take a
position with a large international company, Wagner, Hohns, and Inglis, where he
rose to Vice President before retiring. He moved from Canoga Park, California,
to Paradise, after retiring. He was a member of the Son’s of Italy, Men’s Garden
Club, and the Opera Guild. Rudy is survived by his wife Alison, of Paradise,
daughters Christina Anderson, of Escondido, and Gina Paolini, of Canoga Park,
California, grandchildren James Anderson, of Miami, Florida, Tori Anderson, of
Escondido, and Jordon Anderson of Davis, California. Also two brothers, Frank
Paolini, of Middleburg, Vermont, and Paul Paolini, of San Diego, California. A
Celebration of Life service is planned for Monday, November 3, 2014, at 11:00
A.M. at the Paradise Chapel Of The Pines Funeral Home, in Paradise. A reception
will follow the service, at the funeral home, lower level.
