What can you say about about a man that had so many talents? He was intelligent, generous, kind, a leader, etc.. I could go on and on. My first teaching job had me right next door to him. He was a tremendous help to me and others. He loved his wife and kids so much. He song on my yearly talent show. I loved Mr. and Mrs Ruffin and I want to just say to the boys that you have my thoughts and prayers. Don't worry about Mr. Ruffin because he will be in that number and we will see him again.
