What a loss. One of the kindest humans I have ever met.
I have so many wonderful memories of Ruth & Buck: playing cards with Mom & Dad, going on a picnic in the dead of winter up at the fish hatchery, going to the horse races up in New York, and going to Bill's motorcycle races. Lots of laughter and great friendship. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
