Louis was a butcher like his father and also owned a meat market in Anoka, Minnesota called Betlach's Meats, it was located inside Jepson's Market on the corner of Main and Ferry Streets.

Occupations:
Anoka Cleaners------and ran a little moonshine!!! Early-mid 1930's
Federal Cartridge, until 1948
Minneapolis Arsenal, Guard during the war
Butcher- He and Uncles Joe and George all helped grandpa in his meat market "Betlach's Cash Market" located on 3rd & Main Street in Anoka, across from the Skelly Gas Station and S & L Department Store. Then grandpa had surgery in the mid 1940's and sometime after retired from the business. Dad then opened a meat market in Jepson's Grocery Store in 1948, on the corner of Main Street And Ferry Avenue In Anoka. Billy Graham used to come to Anoka and visit the Baptist church across the street from the meat market and he stopped in to the meat market/grocery store one day and my brother Robert met him, he patted Robert on the head and said he was a fine boy!
Then in the early 1950's about 1952/53 dad went to work at Nielsen's Grocery Store by the Rum River in Anoka. He worked in the meat department for Frank Vicha. Mom worked there as well, as a meat wrapper. I remember going to the grocery store after school. I'd have to go there and wait for them to get off work, because they wouldn't let me go home and stay alone. The store used to have a small coffee/donut counter and that is where I read the newspaper that Marilyn Monroe had been found dead in her home. There was a hardware store in the basement section of the grocery store. I used to go down there a lot and stare at all the toys that were for sale. Dad had very poor circulation in his legs, no doubt from years of smoking. He stood long hours cutting meat and that coupled with the smoking took it's toll. His feet would get so cold he couldn't feel them; one evening after work he came home and his feet were cold like ice. We had an old oil burning stove in the kitchen and he'd take his shoes and socks off and sit by the heater to try and warm them. One particular evening he was warming his feet and leaned over to reach something off the kitchen counter and unknowingly his big toe was touching the stove, he burned it quite badly and because of his poor circulation developed gangrene; he ended up having the toe amputated and suffered a great deal because the wound would never close. Going to his favorite Café for breakfast on day, an acquaintence notice dad hobbling on his foot and asked him what happened. During the course of the conversation the man advised him to quit smoking or the wound would never heal. It must have been worth it for dad to try because shortly after he quit smoking, the wound did start to close. He could no longer stand long hours cutting meat so he had to look for a new job. My brother Robert was at the time driving school bus for Kottke's Bus in Anoka. Dad took over his route and drove school bus, Bus #30, for the Coon Rapids School until his retirement. The kids absolutely loved him to death.

633 Cross Street--Owned by Edward Mills
1920 3rd Avenue South, A duplex (this is the first house I remember)

Eulogy
"KEEPING IT REAL WITH RUDY B."
Eulogy for Rudolph C. Betlach, December 28th, 2004

Who is Rudy Betlach? He is a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and most recently, a great grandfather who was born , raised and lived his entire life in Anoka. He is a natural born athlete who excelled in high school athletics and was voted most handsome of his senior class. ( A fact that we were reminded of again and again throughout our lives.) He also played basketball in the Navy for which he served three years.

He married our mom, Sherrill, in 1960 and they just celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary on December 10th. He became a father in 1961 (for the FIRST time) and became a police officer for the Anoka Police Department in 1965, a career that spanned 24 years until his retirement as Sargent in 1989.

Our Dad was a proud man in many ways. He was proud of his family. He loved to watch us "shaking it loose" on the dance floor and just got a kick out of watching his children interact. He was proud of his Naval and Police careers. He had a den that displayed pictures, trophies, badges and other mementoes. When he was able, his lawn was meticulously manicured. Bikes were not allowed on the grass let alone the birds he would chase away so they wouldn't leave footprints on the lawn. He was extremely proud of his name. We felt sorry for every telemarketer that mispronounced it. He was proud of his "things". He had many collections he proudly displayed such as beer signs, classic car models, and, most recently, ships. The big things such as boats and cars were even named and labeled.

Mom and Dad extended their home and hearts to a special person we consider a sister. Shari recalls the night Dad brought her to our home when she was 15 and assured her she was safe. She considered him her hero. Shari became a part of our family and lived with us for the rest of her childhood.

Dad wore the pants in the family....at least that's what Mom let him think. Mom and Dad weathered many storms but, 44 years, 6 kids plus Shari, 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild later they remained strong and Dad let everyone know how Mom was his entire world.

Dad had many interests. There was a time in his life he would hunt pheasants with his dogs Sassy and Big Red, but his main recreational love was fishing in the summer and the winter. He made his own fish houses and even let his children help. He was a diehard fisherman at that. Rain or shine he would always go fishing. The same rule apparently, applied to golf. Our brother, Tony, recalls an afternoon of golfing during a downpour. It was raining so hard they couldn't see 50 feet in front of them but they were still swinging at balls. It wasn't all bad though, they had the whole course to themselves! Dad loved to work in his garage. He would be in that garage from morning until night refurbishing an old boat (either to keep or sell) or refinishing the woodwork on a piece of furniture. His garage was his haven, he would even paint the floor. The garage also became party central equipped with its own refrigerator and bar where many celebrations were held that are still talked about today.

Dad also loved music. Our Aunt Patty recalls memories of him playing the guitar and singing to her. In later years he did the same for his children. He would even choreograph hand gestures for us to act out some of his favorite songs by Conway Twitty and the Four Lads. Perhaps some of you were lucky enough to attend functions where we were forced to perform. Dad also enjoyed coaching his daughters softball teams for a few years.

Leo that he was, he lived his life like a lion. There was no sugar coating with Dad. He was always at the ready with his opinions whether you wanted them or not. He was who he was and didn't pretend to be anything different. You either loved him or he thought you loved him. Quite frankly, he didn't care either way but he did have a heart of gold and loved dogs and people and was particularly compassionate toward children. Many people would agree that he had charisma. He was also the king of one-liners, most of which cannot be repeated in the house of God. The one thing Dad enjoyed most in life was being with friends and family. Your visits to the house, your phone calls, your birthday and Christmas cards gave him so much joy and something to look forward to.


This is exactly how Dad would have wanted this day to be. To see all of you here, recalling the memories you once shared with him. He would not want you to grieve for long. He would want you to talk about him, remember him always and to celebrate the times you had together. We would also like to hear all the great stories of our father that we know are out there, please feel free to share them with us.

In closing, our Dad played many roles in life and he did it his way. He was a legend in his own mind and his neighbors considered him a legend so he obviously had them convinced. To all of us who loved him, he is a legend in our own private way.

'One of those officers bigger than life' dies
by L.A. Jones, Union editor

Lifelong Anoka resident Rudy Betlach, former Anoka High School football, baseball and track star and sergeant for the Anoka Police Department, "was a local cop in the good sense of the word," said Anoka Police Chief Ed Wilberg.

"He took the time to get know the residents," according to Wilberg about Betlach, 65, who the Anoka police chief remembers looking up to in his boyhood when Betlach was an athletic icon at the high school.

Betlach, who also served in the United States Navy from 1957 to 1960 on the USS Boxer, died Dec. 23.

When Wilberg started with the Anoka PD in 1965, Betlach was an investigator and taught a lot of the young recruits, including himself, according to Wilberg.

"He was one of those officers who was bigger than life," Wilberg said, having recorded numerous track records at Anoka HS. "He always took great pride in helping other police officers."

The one distinct thing Wilberg recalls most about Betlach was that he always had a tale to tell, and his tales were dramatic, heartfelt and affected the way people felt about things.

"His stories all had a point to them," Wilberg said. "He was the kind of a man with stories that showed good always overcame evil."

If there was a kid from a good family, according to the chief, Betlach would take him or her under his badge in a disciplinarian type of way because he knew he would receive better punishment from his family than any kind of punitive measures the juvenile justice system could possibly dole out.

Because Betlach lived all of his life in Anoka, he knew many of the families in the community and made it a point to make friends and acquaintances with everyone he met.

When he retired from the Anoka PD, Betlach had risen to master sergeant in charge of coordinating the patrol division. Betlach was also a member of the Anoka American Legion.

He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Sherrill L.; children Christine (Thomas) Vinje, Anthony Betlach, Elizabeth (Robert) Timm, Rachel (Matthew) Leshovsky, Theresa Betlach, Jessica (Peter) DuCharme; special daughter, Shari Frocier; sister Patricia A. Russell; brother Robert (Frances) Betlach; 13 grandchildren; one great granddaughter; and many nieces and nephews.

Mass of Christian Burial occurred Dec. 28 at St. Stephen's Catholic Church. Private interment was at Calvary Cemetery, Arrangements were by Gearhart Anoka Funeral Home.
