Richard “Dick” Trudell, 74, of Kiln entered into eternal life on Friday, September 25, 2009 after losing his very brave battle with bladder cancer.

He was surrounded by family and comforted by Christ. He leaves behind the love of his life and his best friend Holly, his adoring son Pete, his loving daughter Brandy and his very special daughter-in-law Kelly. He also leaves behind his four beautiful grandchildren Kari, Donovan, Edgerrin and Zoe.

His family would like to send a special thank you to the staff at Pearl River County Nursing Home for all the wonderful care they provided over the past eleven weeks. A Memorial service will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are under the direction of Picayune Funeral Home and Crematory.
