Title: Donald Ruggles Sr. June 26, 1927- May 3, 2015

My dad left us last Sunday to make the journey to be with those that went before him.  He was a good man, and we were blessed to have him for 87 years.

He had a dramatic influence on my life, and he was glad to see that I became successful and reached all the goals that I had set for myself.  We spent a lot of time together in recent weeks, he told me stories of his childhood, and from the war, and his Military service.  I knew his time was short, and I was glad that we could spend some time together before he passed. 

We miss him dearly and he will never be forgotten......Cliff

the loss of a family member makes mere words feel empty.  Regardless, I am sorry for your loss.

Are you doing okay, Cliff? Did not want to call the shop about something personal. It is very hard to lose a parent. I lost my dad at age 17 (now 26) and I was at the lowest point in my life. Take care my friend! If you ever need to talk, just please contact me! Take care bud! Ethan

We're doing fine, extremely busy at the moment.

We had a bad couple of months.  My dad passed away, then two weeks later my wife's mom passed, then a couple of weeks later she lost her younger brother.

I hope we're done with that stuff for a while......Cliff

Glad you had that time with your dad. I am not close to my dad anymore. I hope all your family members find strength during your times of struggle.
