In loving memory of Lou Ruffolo

Hello, this is Jessica Ruffolo, Lou Ruffolo’s wife. As you may know, he recently passed suddenly and unexpectedly. Many people have reached out to me, his children, and his family sharing their sympathy and condolences, and I cannot tell you what a difference this makes. It helps so much to receive such loving support, and to hear the many stories of how Lou has touched and made a difference in their lives. I am also aware of how deeply others are mourning his loss, and this is a testament to how much Lou cared for and about his friends, family, students, colleagues, and communities to which he dedicated his life. Many have asked how they can help us with this sudden loss, and we are so thankful. Because Lou valued education so highly, we believe that a fund toward his children’s education would be a meaningful way to memorialize him. If you are so inclined to give a financial gift here, we would be incredibly thankful. Lou, may you rest in peace, and know you were truly loved and appreciated.
