The whole Marach family wishes to extend their deepest sypathies on the passing of Mr. Ruhl. We always enjoyed seeing him at sporting events, and his encouragement of his grandchildren was admirable. He will be deeply missed.

Uncle Ed was the most fun, kindest man I have ever met. He was always making me laugh and was so gentle and loving. He had a great sense of humor and I will miss him forever. Some people say that you don't know how special someone is until they are taken from you..but for me that was not true, I knew how special Uncle Ed was my whole life and I will never ever forget him.
Uncle Ed,
I will miss you everyday...I love you.
