Thank you my friend and brother for being such an incredible example of Jesus sowing seeds wherever you roamed. I will always think of you when I hear the birds. "Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Prayers for blessings for your family and all those who will miss your light in this world!

No one would have never known the extent of Rufus illness as he kept the faith and fought the good fight stomping on and kicking the devils head until the end. God has graduated Rufus from this life to life everlasting.

I worked at St Vincent with Rufus and we had many a great conversation about anything and everything, in the Shop, Halls and patient rooms while renovating. Nobody was a stranger to Rufus and over the 37+ plus years we worked together, he was a great friend and co worker.
