Not sure what to say?

Well I am many years late to read this, but had to comment nonetheless. I knew Bill when I was a child and young teenager when he was the Director at the summer camp I attended for many years at American Lake. He was an incredibly infectious man who was so supportive and kind. I still get flashes of memories from those days and will be forever grateful to him for being the fun loving, spirited man he was. I think I can speak for all the campers that he was the best!! I even visited him a few...

I am saddened to learn of Bills passing. Bill was instrumental in my investigative career. He went above and beyond to assist me in securing our Key Note speaker Mark Fuhrman of the O.J. Simpson case for our PNAI 1997 Training Seminar. Thank you Bill for all you did for us new comers breaking into the industry. Until we meet again.

Just learned of Bill's passing. He was a great man. I met him while visiting his Spy/PI shop where I finally took his course to become a private investigator. My husband and I still talk about the "Ruddell-isms" we learned from him.
Whenever I think of him it is his big smile and kind words that I remember. He will be missed.

My apologies for the mistake in my other message. I meant to say, Bill 'bought' us a heater.

Bill and I met in 1984 while I was raising my young daughter in an old house in Puyallup, the oil furnace didn't keep the place warm so Bill about us a heater.
He was such a very kind, generous and respectful guy. Having just learned of his passing I am very saddened and my heart goes out to his family who from the reading I've been doing are just as wonderful and smart as he was.

A life well lived and well loved.... My condolences to all who loved Bill.

Blessings and prayers to all family and friends of Bill that your memories of Bill bring a smile to your face. We all know that Bill is with his Mom and Dad and brothers now, so all is well in heaven. I wish these good people lived forever, but guess heaven just couldn't wait for Bill any longer. God bless to all.

Heartfelt condolences to the entire Ruddell family on the loss of Bill. Like brothers Mac and Bob, he is gone too soon but lived a full and accomplished life. You are a special family, I know you will comfort each other, and cherish and celebrate Bill. Love, Pamela Crumb Leptich
