Lawrence Ruffo Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Larry graduated from Johnson City High School, he was a jet airplane mechanic in the USAF, and retired from IBM. He loved old cars, good music, and late nights contemplating life's challenges and blessings. On the weekends he enjoyed Timberline Lake, sitting by the campfire offering "wisdom nuggets" in between naps. Larry was incredibly proud of his family and enjoyed all his children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed, though we know he is watching over us all.
A Funeral Mass will be offered on Monday March 31, 2025 at 11am at Church of the Holy Family 3600 Phyllis Street Endwell. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Monday at 10am until the time of the Mass at the church. Memorial contributions can be made in Larry's memory to Mercy House 212 North McKinley Avenue, Endicott, NY.
