He went on to serve at a domestic field site in the Office of Communications as an electronic engineer. He returned to the Washington, DC area to serve as a project management engineer in the Directorate of Science and Technology and later the National Clandestine Service (formerly the Directorate of Operations). He received numerous exceptional performance awards for his outstanding contributions to the Agency. During his career, he traveled often to Europe, South America, Africa, East Asia and the Middle East. Rudy was known for his love of fishing with friends and family on his boat, Tiana Vice, and spending every free moment at the family home in Hampton Bays, NY. Predeceased by his father, Dr. Gerard R. Boll Jr., he is survived by his mother, Sandra Boll, of Cortland, NY, his brother and sister-in-law, Richard and Romy Boll and their children Sydney and Kyle of Arlington, VA, and his aunt, Sister Donna Girard, O.
