Jim was a wonderful friend and a great Marine
So sad to learn of his passing
Have thought of Jim and his great family often over the years

Col. Ruffini was a very good man and a great Marine! I first met him in 1972 at the University of Missouri. He was a Major at that time.  He inspired me to enter the Marines.  I always looked up to him.  We later served in the same Battalion, 3rd Recon Bn, 3rd Marine Division.  He was one of my primary reasons for joining   the Marine Corps. I always looked up to him.  I honor him always. Terry Brown, LtCol USMCR (ret.)

Nancy, I want to send my condolences.  I am so sorry for your loss, and you and your family are in my prayers.  -Ivy

I am so sorry Nancy.❤️ I am thinking of you so much and your family. We had known each other since Millcreek and I talked many times to Jim and he always knew your schedule when you always subbed for me. I miss you and thinking of you so much.  Love Jan 

Alec, my Would Brother, I am sorry for your loss! My family and I will be praying for your father and that the Holy Spirit bless you and your family with an abundance of grace and comfort in this difficult hour. Our love to you all! -- Brad and family

I got to know Jim by racing and flying pigeons with him and against him for many years. Jim loved being a pigeoneer and was one hell of a competitor winning a lot more races than most. I'll miss ya Jim  but also know your flying that big flock in the sky for the lord!! Rip big Jim. 
Steve Alberg..follow pigeoneer and friend 

Jim helped start me in pigeon flying and racing. Whenever I had a question and I had a lot of questions I could always depend on Jim for an answer. 
Jim will,be missed.

Kirstie...and to the rest of your family,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your dad was a great man and I see that every day in the way you live your life. He raised you to be a kind and gentle person who shows compassion to many and has a deep love for God and I am glad that you are a part of all the lives of mine and so many other’s kids. You do such a wonderful job of showing them God’s love and a love of our faith. Thank you for that. If you need anything, please let me know.
