Virginian-Pilot May 7, 2016
James Neil Rudolph died peacefully after a short illness at Sentara Virginia 
Beach General Hospital on May 4, 2016. He was the son of Joseph and Helen 
Rudolph of Norfolk, Va. Jim was an accomplished carpenter and businessman. He 
founded Rudolph Construction, which began with him working on small projects out 
of his garage on nights and weekends, and went on to build schools, courthouses, 
and hospitals along the east coast, employing hundreds of his fellow craftsmen 
over a span of 20 years. Jim also took great pride in the beach house that he 
built with the help of many friends in the Outer Banks. He was a kind and 
generous man who loved the beach and was passionate about his friends, family, 
and beloved dogs and cats. Jim is survived by his son, Jason (and wife, 
Michelle); his brothers, Joe (and wife, Catherine) and Johnny (and wife, 
Debbie); his sister Elaine; and his nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind 
Ryan Werts (whom he loved like a son), Terre Werts, Stephanie Smith, and a host 
of devoted friends. A memorial service to celebrate Jim's life is scheduled for 
Monday, May 9, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. at Beach Funeral Services (4456 Bonney Rd., 
Va Beach). Dear friend Phyllis Lyons will officiate the ceremony. A reception 
will follow at Outback Steakhouse. Memorial donations may be made to Corolla 
Wild Horse Fund at http://corollawildhorses.com/tribute. Condolences and 
memories can be shared at http://bit.ly/jimrudolph. The family would like to 
thank the entire staff of the SVBGH ICU, especially Joe Kirk and Lee Kalingking, 
for their tireless care and compassion.
