Not sure what to say?

One of my favorite quotes from him that I refer to frequently is "It's better to wear out than to rust out." He was not an idle man in the decades was in the same church, even after. He loved with Jesus's love. Miss him till Glory.

Jack was an amazing person. His love for God, his family and his many friends was unmatched. I was a young girl from small town, WV and he and Lois made me feel like one of his kids. Unconditional love!

Big Jack was the godliest example of Christ to us. His love, encouragement, prayers, wisdom and compassion will never be forgotten. Jack never gave up on sharing Christ with the lost. He was instrumental in leading my friend's brother to Christ the day before his death.
Heaven truly rejoiced on December 26th when Saint Jack went home!

My heart smiles at all my remeberances of Jack Ruff. I knew he and his family back in 1979-1980 as a youth. Through the years since his life has shone Christ to all he touched. He will be missed. I am sure many have greeted him in heaven that God allowed him to lead to Jesus. God Bless to his family

We were so sorry to hear about Jack. We will always remember his love for Jesus and how he was there for us during a difficult time in our lives. Truly Jack is an example kf how a man should live his life. Pleasing God and others

My condolences to the Ruff family for the passing of Big Jack. I remember him saying in one of his Sunday School classes that he was becoming homesick. Homesick to see Jesus and our heavenly Father. I'm quite sure that Big Jack is homesick no longer.

Lois Ann and all your family,
My first memory of Jack was when he was a youth leader and drove us down to Webster Springs, WA for a week at Camp Ceaser. Kind, caring, faithful,humble ... these are just a few words to describe this wonderful man.The way he lived his life truly is the best example of how a Christian should live and serve God. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jack may have only been a man, but he learned how to be darn good at it. Cheers to an unforgetable man who continues to teach in his absence.

Big Jack would always give dollar bills out to my children. One day Jack was sick and my son said " Lets give him a dollar". He taught love and Christ like faith every where he went. We will miss him. He was one of a kind.Our prayers go out to the family.
