Not sure what to say?

Was a really a good man. Never forget how he treated me when my husband passed many years ago thank you Emilia Guilmartin

Growing up in South Philly I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Ruffenach living only three doors away from his Funeral Home. I actually lived in his old home at 2109 S. 21st Street. Joseph always had a smile and a Hello for me when we crossed paths. He took great care of my Father upon his passing. I will always remember Him as one of the Great men in the neighborhood. RIP.

To The Ruffenach Family,
"What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose."
May the care of friends bring you comfort and loving memories heal your heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I have known and loved Joseph Ruffenach for 36 years and have so many wonderful stories and experiences to remember him why. He was a wonderful man and a loving and thoughtful grandfather to my children.
