ATO brothers and Carey family members gathered at Oakwood Cemetery in Charlottesville on October 21 to dedicate the newly-installed gravestone for brother Rudy Carey. The commissioning and installation of the gravestone was made possible by the incredible generosity of brothers and friends of Rudy over the past year. Rudy’s gravesite is in the far […]
