Robert Ruf

Sitting on his Knee While he played cards in a game of eucher with any number of past family members Him Gnawing on his cigar butt Enjoying an Old Milwaukee!

Bob Ruf was an amazing person--period!!! I met Bob in 2000 when I started dating Vicki and he never let me forget I got paid too much for being a teacher! I know he really never believed that but we always needled each other about me a teacher and him an insurance agent. Bob was so successful as an insurance agent because he wasn't out to just sell a policy, he cared about people and would do anything to make sure they got paid if they deserved a payment. He believed in insurance and he believed in his company, and he believed in himself. He was the most positive man I have ever met, He loved his family to no ends and would do anything for them even if it meant a kick in a butt!! He was my second Dad and I am proud to call him that as he was the same age as my Dad who died at 67. I appreciate the Ruf family who always treated me as one of them. I will miss Bob tremendously and remember he was' too poor too pass!!'

Uncle Bob was truly one of the greatest men I've ever had the pleasure to know. His love of family extended through the Ruf family, reaching out to the Douglas family and bringing so many of us years of joyful, loving memories. Alot of lessons were learned sitting with him at the card table. So many tears of laughter were shed, listening to my Dad, Gene, and him exchange jokes back and forth. You were blessed with a long, memorable and loving life, uncle Bob. We were all blessed to have you be a part of ours. God Bless. JJ

Bill (Bumpa) Curren A one of a kind guy who will be sorely missed. We shared good times together (Weddings-Birthday celebrations-visits to your lake home in Pardeeville) and some tough times (funerals). We had so much in common--the insurance industry & some grandchildren. You lived the good life and helped so many people.. You were adored by your family and appreciated for your genuine kindness. You are now with your Lord and Savior.. What a great joy it is to be absent from the body and to be present with Jesus.

Nancy - so sorry about your dad, he was a great person, I know you will miss him. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
