Tim,
I have always wondered how all of you were doing. I was on facebook looking to find Scott. I am so sorry to hear about him. And your parents. I don't know if you rememeber me I dated your brother. Before your family moved to Arizona. He was such a sweet person. I was hoping to find him married and with children. This really saddens me . I am so so very sorry. I know he must have touched so many lives. I was blessed to have known him.

I have only fond memories of Scott. Such a sweetheart. God bless you all.

The Scorpions Family lost a dear and devoted fan and brother. RIP Scott..may you rock out in Heaven as you rocked here on Earth.

Dear Tim,
My heart goes out to you and your family over the loss of Scott. Our lives have intersected at different times in our life. I've known you since childhood. We grew up in the same neighborhood. We met again years later at CBIS and then at Rose Lombardo's class. I remember that you and Scott sat next to each other in class. I was sad to hear news about Scott. As I listened to the memorial service for Scott, I was grateful to have met such a wonderful person. My caring thoughts are with you and your family.

Yes, Scott was full of energy
Rest in peace brother!
I am 46 and this shakes me to the core
Life is precious, live it to the fullest!
I looked forward to seeing Tim and his brother Scott with the Scorps on every tour.
I was just in Chicago to see MSG wow
Tim I''ll see you in 2010 in Detroit Gotta hug for you!
I lost a close brother too,its always gonna hurt.
Hang in there!
Peace

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

What do you say when someone you care about loses a friend?
Are there any words adequate enough to make their grief go away?
Or do you remain silent and just cover them with quiet strength?
To freely give of your heart without any spoken word, joining in their sorrow
And wrapping them in your silent depth of love, touching their hurting soul
Showing them you are always there, to give your ear, your shoulder, your arms
Saying nothing with your voice, but everything with your nearness
And your friendship

Scott, I wish I had been able to get to know you after I met you in 2007! But I will see ya in rock n roll heaven my Scorpions brother.


IN MEMORY OF SCOTT RUFFALO

Tim,

After probably playing 100 or more softball games in the IF next to Scott and you I'll always have entertaining memories of the fun times we had on summer evenings. Scott had a passion and competitiveness that inspired the rest of us. Everyone with a brother learned how to be better family by being around you two. As people have mentioned, its easy to remember his laugh and I can still hear his voice giving it to 'Blue' from the bench.

Ruffalo family, Tim, friends,

Scott, we barely knew you, but had a great time every time we met you on Scorpions tours. Your sudden departure shook us and made us realize that we are not eternal. Scott, keep an eye on all of us, on Scorpions and especially on your brother Tim.

Tim and Family,

Scott's bright light will shine on. He had an unforgettable soul and energy touching everyone in his life...plus his laughter was infectious. I can hear it now!

Prayers for you and your family Tim. Peace.

Dear Tim, and to all who knew and loved Scott,

My deepest sympathies and continued prayers to all of you during this tragic and sad time. May your memories of Scott fill your hearts with happiness and love.

His soul must surely be rockin' out in heaven!

my condolences from spain. Rest in peace
Andrea

Dearest Ruffalo's,
Scott's soul will rock-on in the heavens above us and please accept our condolences. We will include scotty in our future prayers.

Dear Tim and family,
We will always remember the fun times with Scott - seeing the Scorps and going backstage, and helping us sell our house many years ago. Our sympathies and prayers go out to you.
Sue & John Wurster

Tim, Marissa and family,

My deepest sympathies to you during this difficult time. Scott will be missed - he was such fun to have around, and I'm honored to have had the chance to know him. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

To lose a brother is tough. The easy part is remembering all the good times you shared. There will never be another Scott, and that's sad and special, all at the same time. Take Care and try to get through it.

Tim, Please accept my condolences on the loss of your beloved brother. He was always smiling and had the best attitude. Hold the memories close to your heart. Lou McKeone-Mallo

Tim and your family, Scott was an inspiration to us all! His gratious way of living and never judging anyone made him very special. My prayers are with you and your family. Remember his laughter and the extremely memorable moments you had together. Treasure them.....they are PRICECLESS!

Love,

Mary (Mulchrone) Nye

Tim and family,

My heartfelt condolences and prayers and thoughts to you guys. Met you guys just a few times over the years but we were like one huge family and when we met it was like the family reuninons. Scott is forever alive in our thoughts and hearts. A Greek toast to Scott. Giasou Scott!!

Andrew

Scott was a great man and many people love him.
He will always be remembered for the joy he has brought into many peoples lives.

Tim,

I am so sorry to hear about Scott. He was such a nice guy with always a smile on his face. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Tim, we never had much contact, but I'm deeply sorry about Scott. I wish you and your family can find the strength to go through all this. Scarlet.

To Tim and Family,

Words cannot express the sadness I felt when I heard of Scott's passing. I definitely agree with everyone else who has expressed how he made working at CBIS/Convergys more enjoyable and that he had a zest for life and good times that was contagious for everyone around him. Please know all of your friends have Scott and you in our thoughts and prayers.

Tim and family,
I cannot find the words in conveying my deepest sympathy, but find strength in knowing that Scott is now born to eternal life. It was a great honor having called him my friend.

Dear Tim, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. Scott always had a genuine and contagious smile that could brighten the darkest day. I can only think of good things when I remember Scott.

Peace, Prayers and Blessings.

Tim, I'm shocked and saddened. I don't know what to say. Scott was such a good friend. I am one of the many people who loved Scott. The world is a sadder place without his sense of humor and fearless way of doing things. He did a lot of living in his lifetime. I'm sorry I can't be there. I'm on the east coast and I just read Craig's email.

Tim I want you to know although I haven't seen Scott or you for a while I never forgot you guys. When talking to MacroCell'ers at what ever gathering it was, I would ask about Scott. When talking about old times as MacroCell'ers, a story that included Scott would be remembered. Tim I'm really sorry for you and your family's loss.

Please accept my deepest sympathies and may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow...

Scott will be missed. Future Scorps shows will not be the same without his presence. We had a lot of great times together in different cities. My condolences to Scott's friends and family.

Tim, I was so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. He was one of the first people that I met at CBIS and his genuine attitude, contagious sprirt and warm heartedness will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Tim, Marissa & Family:

We were honored to not only call Scott a friend, but we also called him family. As I look back over the last decade I have so many great memories of Scott ... his laugh, his sense of humor, our road trips and his love for his family and his Scorpions family. He will be greatly missed!

May God bless you and comfort you during this tragic time. We are thinking of you!

With Sympathy,
Sherry, Kevin & Kristy Deubach

TIM
SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT SCOTT. HE WAS A GREAT PERSON AND WILL BE MISSED. YOU AND SCOTT WERE LIKE PART OF OUR FAMILY GROWING UP.WE ALWAYS ENJOYED BEING WITH YOU BOTH.
OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU TIM . AT THIS SAD TIME.

Tim and family,
I am sorry to hear about Scott. He worked for me at CBIS and he was my go to person who would take the early morning Sunday shift in PAG. He was a good employee and a great guy to know. We made certain that he got his vacation time off to go on the road with the Scorpions and he got me their autographs. After CBIS, we met up at Lifetime in Bloomingdale and my husband and I saw him and talked to him frequently. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

Tim, I'm sad to hear that Scott passed and he was young. Scott had a great energy for life and he spoke of you often. The stories I've heard and pictures I saw of the two of you with the Scorpions were great. I know Scott will be missed. My Sympathies go to you and your family.

Tim and Family,

Please accept our deepest condolences. It seemed last we spoke at Danny's this spring, life was going along pretty well for all. It reminds us to treasure each day and opportunity we spend with our friends and family. Scott had such a huge heart and zest for living. I sure loved playing softball with you guys.

God bless you and the entire Ruffalo family,

Timmy my prayers are with you and your family. Scott was pleasure to work with especially in QC at CBIS and was a true gentleman. Phile was correct that NEW YEARS was unforgettable because Scott made the night memorable. His picture is the one that should appear next to the phases ‘Working Hard and Party Hard” also “Living life to the Fullest.”

A few random memories of Scott:

He had a contagious laugh.

He was a very good bowler.

I remember his last day at Convergys - that's when he told me how he and Tim became friends with "the Scorps". I don't remember the details; I just remember him telling the story.

I ran into him once after that at a restaurant. We didn't know each other well; but he recognized me and came up to say "hello"... and a few more words. I suppose I figured I'd run into him again like that someday.

This is truly shocking and sad news. He was far too young. My deepest sympathies to all who loved him and will surely miss him.

Scott was such a great guy and always made me laugh. I worked with Scott several years ago at Convergys (CBIS)and he was a good friend. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing and my condolences go out to Tim and his family. God Bless - Laura Kormos

Timmy, you know my heart and thoughts are with you and your family. Scott was a real stitch, but as his brother, you were a best friend, and, I am sure an inspiration to him. My love is with you and think of you often.

I worked with Scott at Convergys ( also known as CBIS) for a number of years. He helped my son Tom find a good used car and he helped my son Matthew search for real estate. Scott was a kind and giving person who posessed a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss him. Harriet White

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
