X-Message-Number: 29799 Subject: RE: [CN] Life Insurance / Rudi Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2007 10:18:00 -0400 References: <> From: "Hare, Tim R" <> Folks, The experience my wife and I've had with Rudi has been the same as described below. As well, when we chose to defer for an unspecified period, and indicated we'd contact him when ready, Rudi was fully supportive, and despite having had opportunity to follow up in the past year or so, he's not done so. He's far from predatory...perhaps deliberately erring on the side of excessive caution in follow ups due to his commitment to put people before dollars. Given what I've gleaned from private correspondence with Rudi, his posts to the CN listsrv, and conversations, it seems clear that he's genuinely excited about what he does for people, has the skills to really add value, and feels lucky to be in a line of work where he can see the difference he's making in the lives (and possibly, the 'afterlives', if you will) of folks who share his enthusiasm for Cryonics. All the evidence I've been privy to suggests Rudi is attempts to act as an advocate and steward for those on this board....not a "used car salesman"....and succeeds. He may not be published in peer reviewed journals [at least not as Rudi..perhaps as Rudy? :() ] but he's got my vote despite this.

When I was 25 I shopped around and purchased a Universal policy for myself and my then husband--because of my age and health a New York Life policy was not that expensive and I liked their stellar reputation. When I was 29 I purchased three policies for my children aged 3, 5, and 7 from the same NYL agent. When I re-married at age 31 I wanted to buy a policy for my 30 year old husband. I got a quote from my NYL agent, a local agent who I'd worked with to acquire insurance for my recently purchased home, and I looked on-line. This time, after meeting Rudi, but also hearing good things about him--I let him give me quotes too. I hit him up with tons of questions, all of which he answered in a timely fashion (I'm sure I was one of the most consternating customers!) His quote was less--but specifically--with what I wanted. I purchased the policy for my new husband--and since I'd checked with Rudi what my kid's prices would be--I cancled theirs and purchased new ones through Rudi. His wife helps him with running his business, the two of them are very nice, professional and get everything done. Go ahead and check with Rudi-- he knows a lot and does not mind helping you learn more, even if you go with someone else in the end. :-) Shannon Vyff / Trice Health, Happiness, Wisdom & Longevity :-) -- best wishes from...
