Jill, I am so saddened by the loss of your father, you are in my Prayers and forever in my heart.
My grandparents (Gene & Ivadean Mowry) were very good friends of Del & CarolineI. I have very fond memories of the times I was around Del! He was ornery & always made me laugh. The obituary perfectly described his personality. Infectious! I'm so very sorry for your loss! Shelly
Dear Delfino Ruffini Family,
So sorry about your loss. Delf was a very fine and kind individual. I always considered him to be my favorite uncle. When mom and dad said he was coming over, I always became immediatly anxious and happy inside.
Three things I remember the most about Delf:
- How handsome he looked in his white sailor uniform, something that a little boy couldn't
forget.
- How he used to tell me as a teenager how easy it was to repair a car engine and he
couldn't understand that I couldn't do it.
- His humor; when he told a joke it was most certainly hillarious, his own laughter was
absolutely infectious and you just had to houl out loud with him.
I will never forget Delf. He remains in my heart forever.
Love to you all,
Paul Zeni
Jill and Family,
Prayers and thoughts go out to you on the passing of your father. Heaven gained an Angel.
Sincerely,
Sue Augustine Kowa
