Joe Ruffolo was truly a great leader of the old north American era. Joe had a remarkable memory and had a personable and likeable way about him with others. I will remember Joe fondly and my experiences with him. My sincere condolences to Joe's family and all of his friends.

Linda, Julie and Joe,
When past employees of NAVL get together, Joe's name often comes up. He is spoken of always with fondness, respect and admiration. He was without question the best leader for the company and the best boss anyone could ever have. He made working there a joy. All of us will remember him often and always with affection.
