I have been trying to reach Ruth for a few years and while visiting CT. decided to google her name...I was caught off guard by the news of her passing. I worked for Ruth and her family for over one year and have to say she was a hell of a lady with a great career, great family, great zest for her work and her loves....I know she is in a wonderful dimension~~~

I was looking up old friends on the internet and came upon the news of Ruth's passing. I spent a wonderful year with Ruth at the University of Sussex. She certainly made the world a better place. She will be missed in my heart.

I met Ruth in the library at Connecticut College at the beginning of our senior year. We got chatting and found that we had both come back from a junior year abroad feeling a bit alienated from American college life. I was privileged to have had her as a friend that year; she made that last year more interesting and fun. I am sorry we lost touch but I am grateful to have known her. I send my condolences to all her family.

Once met, never forgotten! We first met Ruth at Sussex University and until then we had no idea that so much energy and determination could be packed into one small person (and a vegetarian, to boot). We were thrilled we managed to meet up with her in New York two years ago ... and nothing had changed. Howard, David and Caleb, we are hugely sorry for your loss. She will leave a big whole in so many people's lives. We were proud to call her our friend.

Dear Howard,
I had the great pleasure of meeting you and Ruth in Blackheath some years ago. I am very sad to hear of Ruth's passing. I shall always remember her warmth as well as her vibrant and beautiful personality. My sincere condolences to you and the boys.

I met Ruth during her year at Sussex University in 77/78. It was clear to all that she was a very special person. To Howard and your sons, my heart goes out to you.

Ruth had that special spark that exists in far too few of us. She was at once captivating, engaged, and interested. Her energy and love of life drew those of us who were blessed to know her into a circle of intimacy almost immediately. Howard, David, Caleb and the Pulda, Rifkin family members, do not count your losses, celebrate that you were in Ruth's orbit for as long as it lasted. You (and we) were truly blessed by her life.

The Ruthie I remember is forever 18 in my mind for that is the year we spent together in the most formative year of my life, Young Judaea Year Course 1973-74. She touched my life then as well as across the miles and years since.

Dear Howard and everyone in the Pulda and Rifkin families: Leigh and I send our deepest sympathies at this difficult time. Ruth was a wonderful law school classmate, law firm partner, and friend. Her dedication to public interest law was an inspiration. Her legacy will endure through the lives of the people she touched and the causes she so deeply believed in.

We were fortune to know and love Ruth as a close friend and our neighbor. Her ever present smile and warm personality contributed significantly to the social fabric we proudly call the West End. She will be sorely missed but never forgotten. May God bless her, you, and the “guys” during this transition and forever thereafter. The Mastronardi’s

Howard and family -- I was saddened to hear the news of Ruth’s passing and my thoughts are with you, your children and all of Ruth’s family. She was such a committed and passionate person and contributed so much to the Hartford community. I always ran into Ruth during election time when I was working for this or that person -- Ruth was always positive and had such an attractive and open spirit. She will be missed by many.

Judy and I extend our sincerest condolences to you and the Pulda and Rifkin families. Though time and geography eventually separated us, what will never separate us is the memory that we grew up in the law together.

Dear Howard,
My heart and my prayers are with you and the boys. Not only those of us who were lucky enough to know Ruth but just about everyone else in this state is diminished by her passing just as we all were blessed by her friendship, her work and the battles she fought. I was so sorry to hear that she had lost this last one. You know that I am a better person for having known her.
Much love, Clappsky

Dear Pulda and Rifkin Family, I knew Ruthie best in high school at Doherty. My nickname was REB (my initials and I was a rebel) and we had a lot of great times hanging around! It has been awhile since I have seen Ruth and most of our gang. I am living in Raleigh NC now and get back to Worcester several times a year to visit my mom Edna Burack who is living at the Eisenberg Assisted Living. She and my Dad were great friends with Mary and Louis. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will send something for your memory book.
