My condolences to the family. I will keep all in my prayers.

I was a 3rd generation patient my mother Mary Denise McGonagle passed in 9/11 and I was unaware of his passing. I have very fond memories and my prayers are with you and your family

Dear JoAnn and Family: Bill was so kind to me and my family for so many years. It was a pleasure to have had him in my life. He made life better for anyone who knew him. God Bless!

To Mrs. Ruff and Family...

I was nine years old when I came to the Wall/Ruff Practice on Halsted and Garfield Boulevard. I remember Dr. Ruff's kind approach, gentle touch, and good humor. I am truly sorry for your loss and trust your memories will help you all through this difficult time...just as Dr. Ruff has given fond memories to countless people like me who are better for having known him.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To JoAnn and the entire Ruff family:

We just learned of Bill's passing this morning (October 19th), seeing his name in St. Linus's bulletin, which we still receive. We wish to extend our deepest condolences to all. May God welcome him into His kingdom. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Dear JoAnn and family: I just learned of Bill's death this morning at Mass; I am so sorry for your loss. I remember him from years ago as a reader at the children's 9:00 Sunday Mass at Little Flower Church, and now as a fellow parishioner again, I will miss seeing him at daily Mass. You are in my prayers.

Mrs.Ruff and family, i am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Bill was an amazing man. I will never forget on one of my visits he was checking my reflexes and told me to go home and tel my dad he hit me with a hammer! He was a great doctor and I am greatful to have had him as my doctor for as many years as I did. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers

Mrs. Ruff & Family,

My condolences to all of Dr. Ruff's family. He was a wonderful physcian and very caring person. He took care of my mom for many years and she is still with us today at 94 because of him. We will all miss him. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time.
