My deepest sympathies go out to Margaret and all of my dear cousins. The passing away of my precious Uncle Roscoe is such a great loss. He was one of the best uncles anyone could ever have and I will always have fond memories of him.

You will all be in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this very difficult time.

My love to you all,

Your cousin, Deborah Carver Brittain (Wilda's daughter)

Roscoe Ruddle is deserving of every accolade that could be given. One of the finest Men this world has known. He will live on in all who knew him.

I did not know Mr. Ruddle very well, Bruce introduced me to him a couple of times. He seemed to be a cool man, and I loved his hats. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family...Robin and Jenny Blair (Hampton, va.)

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Your father
was a very humble and friendly gentleman. He liked meeting your
co-workers and friends. He made you feel like you had known him
for many years. I'll always remember his very firm handshake. May God bless you and your entire family
