Barbara and family,
I just learned today, of your dad's passing. I am sorry for your loss. I noticed that he was just a year younger than my dad, but that your parents were married for 65 years, whereas mine only made it to 62 years. Both long marriages and deep losses. I read that you were by his side and helping to take care of him and I know that will give you comfort as the days go by. It is so hard to say good bye to someone who loved and protected us, but wonderful to have had such a loving dad.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. (an Irish saying)

My deepest sympathies.

Dear Andrea, I am so sorry to hear that you lost your dad. Although I never met him, I learned from reading his beautifully written obituary that he lived a full and productive life. He sounds like he was a very involved, committed and loving man, someone who will be dearly missed. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this most difficult time. Sincerely, Karen

Our condolences to Rita and all of Marvin's family, friends, and loved ones. We are grateful for his service to our country aboard U.S. Submarines during WWII. Our prayer is that God will bring you peace, comfort you, and heal your broken hearts. To our "Brother of the Phin" we say, "Sailor, rest your oar. We have the watch. Rest in peace." -- Rev.

How fondly I recall childhood memories of White Sands with the Ruzansky cottage down the road from us. It is hard to imagine how many years have gone by since then. Marvin's smiles and good humor will be much missed. May his memory be for a blessing.

Andrea and family, I am so sorry for the loss of your dad.

Dear Andre,
With deepest sympathy on the loss of your father.

To the family of Marvin Ruzansky, on behalf of all of us at SUBVETS and me personally, I want to extend our sincere condolences on Marvin's passing.

I enjoyed the times we would see him at the SUBVETS WWII Christmas parties, and the times we were able to chat when he would come to dinners at the clubhouse. His presence will be missed.

I'm very sorry that the SUBVETS will not have a presence at his funeral. I am just seeing this at 07:05 this morning and I don't have sufficient time to put the word out and assemble our Honors Detail.

HAND SALUTE
SHIPMATE Marvin Ruzansky . . . Rest your oar!
