CARL ROBERT RUFFING

Thinking of you, Dad, and wishing you a Great Father's Day in heaven, even though you are no longer on this earth, you are forever in my heart!

Lois & Family - I just spoke to Irene and heard about Carl. I am so sorry! He was a good man. And very proud of his family. I know he will be missed. And he will always be with you. God Bless!

God Bless you Dad

Death robs us of the people we love, Love keeps them alive in our hearts, and Gods gives us them for eternity. My Dad would visit for just a few days and he would know all of my neighbors, he would have every broken item I owned repaired, and he would always have a tear in his eye when we would say goodbye. I had the pleasure of accompanying Dad to a MetalTech Christmas party a few years back, when my mother's health would not permit her to attend. Dad had already retired, yet Metal Tech continued to extend an invitation to my father. At the party, I had the privilege of watching Dad with his buddies from the mill. During the entire evening, men would seek out my Dad, shake his hand, and thank him. These men were truly glad to see him and the respect and admiration that they felt for my father was obvious. My Dad not only made a difference in my life, but I could see that he made a difference in the lives of so many others, as well. Plus, he was a good dancer… following every instruction I gave him. My Dad had a tear in his eye when he took his last breath, like he always would when he said goodbye. I am looking forward to seeing Dad again, when we are both in the “Forever After.” Thank you Dad! You did a great job!

Dad was my Best Friend, my Confidant, and my Mentor. I will miss him more than words can express. I Love you Dad. Debbie
