Rudolph Pick, died January 7, 2014 in Chevy Chase, Md. at age 94.  Born January 3, 1920 in Vienna, Austria, son of the late Wilhelm and Ella Pick (victims of the Nazi Holocaust). He graduated high school in 1938. After the Anschluss in 1938, he went to Prague, Czechoslovakia and enrolled in Charles University. With the assistance of the International Boy Scouts, Rudy fled to England in 1939 where he met his beloved Rose.  During that time, he completed his studies and became a chemical engineer. Rudy served in the Czech division of the British Army, fought in Belgium and helped liberate Dunkirk, France in 1945.  Post-war, he returned to Czechoslovakia only to be captured and imprisoned by the Russians in 1948.  After his release, he and Rose escaped back to England for several years before immigrating to the United States in 1953.  He lived in Colonia and Metuchen, NJ while employed by E.I.DuPont Corp. in Linden, NJ as a plant engineer and plant manager.  With fluency in many languages, he later joined DuPont’s international division and lived in Wilmington, DE and Seabrook, TX. His last position was in Dordrecht, Holland from where he retired in 1984.  During the years, he received multiple patents for chemical processes.  Upon retirement, he and Rose lived in Hollywood and Pompano Beach, FL; residing there until 2011 when they moved to Chevy Chase, Md. Although he grew up in a secular home, Rudy became more observant once he arrived in the US.  Wherever he lived, he became a regular at minyanim and volunteered his time and efforts on committees especially at Temple Neve Sholom in Metuchen, NJ and Temple Sholom in Pompano Beach, FL.  Rudy was an accomplished bridge player and became a certified bridge director. He and Rose ran a bridge club in Metuchen, NJ for many years. They spent summers in Boone, NC directing bridge games for senior hostels at Appalachian State University. At an early age, Rudy began a lifelong enjoyment of skiing. Later in life, he taught his wife and daughters, became a member of the 70+ Club and only stopped skiing in his mid-eighties.  In retirement, he and Rose took many cruises, often as adjunct crew teaching bridge or computer basics.  He loved all things flora and fauna; walking with Rose was also a great pastime. He traveled to visit his children and grandchildren, ski and play in bridge tournaments all over the world; often meeting up with his former classmates and friends scattered across the globe. In addition to Rose, his wife of 73 years, Rudy is survived by his daughters: Kathryn Pick, London England, Susan Dubas, Arlington, VA and Elaine (Eric) Farkas, Chesterfield, MO, and 4 grandsons: Paul Dubas & Andrew, Zachary and Joshua Farkas.
