Dr. Walter Allwein Ruch Jr.

Carol, I was so sad to hear of Walter's passing. I thought I had your phone number but I do not. Would love to hear from you. I'm still at The Peabody.

Carol, please accept our sympathy in your loss. We remember you both with great fondness, and always enjoyed Walter and his genuine good nature. Although the years have kept us apart, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

To David and the entire Ruch family, I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Ruch was my doctor for many years. He was a gifted physician and a kind and caring person.

He was as great an uncle as he was a doctor. We had such great times with Walter and Carol over the years...so fortunate to have Walter as an uncle, and so proud of who he was and how he carried himself. His passing brings an immediate void in our world.

Dr. Walter cared about his patients and about teaching other physicians by setting an example of excellence. He was a great friend and constantly encouraged all of us (especially encouraging a young physician starting a specialty practice of ultrasound). What a life well lived.

My sympathy to Walter´s family, Your loss has created a long pause. The reappearance of wonderful memories, Brings a happy sadness, just because.

He was a GREAT Doctor and a GREAT Man.

To the entire family of Dr. Ruch: Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers. He delivered both my children and I later got to return the favor when we took care of him at Stern Cardiovascular where I have worked for 45 years. He was the finest, kindest man I ever met and I am so very sorry to hear of his passing. Sincerely, Sharon Goldstein
