Mr Ruff,
It was an honor to have met you this year, while coaching your grandson, James, in baseball. I really enjoyed the baseball topic talks we had before and after games. You will be missed by the team, their parents and myself, as we have gotten accustomed to seeing you sitting down the left field line observing each game. May God bless you and your family during this difficult time.
