Howard was a good friend to our family. He and his family showed us the way for eternal happiness. Our love and gratitude always.

Went to my first Ruff Conference in 1987, which has influenced my investing since then. Howard was one of the greatest men I've ever met. He was a blessing to the planet and will be missed.

"How To Prosper During The Coming Bad Years," was virtually the beginning of my education in "common sense" economics. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to personally tell Howard that it was his guidance, through his book and subsequent newsletters that guided my mom's financial future after my dad's death in 1979. She was far more comfortable financially than she would have been otherwise.

Any words about Howard cannot omit Kay. She has been the family's rock - and the dignity...

Dear Kay,

I, too, became acquainted with Howard through his books and newsletters and was happy to have you move just across the street from me in the Willow Park Villas.

But it didn't take me long to learn that YOU are the one everyone should know! I admire and respect you a lot and marvel that you have had so many of life's experiences without being bitter or arrogant, but always kind and unassuming.

Hoping our paths cross again; it was delightful to have you as my...

I send my condolences to the Ruff family. I began reading the Ruff Times in the late 1970's and was a subscriber for many years. Both Mr. Ruff's clear, interesting, and insightful articles and books and the references to which he directed subscribers gave me an outstanding education in free-market economics. It has been of lasting benefit to me.

Kay, we're so sorry. Here we live right around the corner, and we had no idea Howard was gone. Please know that we love you and are praying for you and your family. We love you!

My condonences to Kay and your family. I knew Howard at the Y. He was very popular because of his beautiful voice. He drove my friends and I to San Francisco after we graduated and we were in the same ward. He directed and sang in HMS Pinefore and I was Buttercup. I was able to teach Kay in my Laurel Class, and I was excited to hear of yourI5UAC marriage. The funeral today was beautiful. I send my love. Joana Hobbs Major
