"By writing or reading obituaries,we can discover ways to make our time on earth more worthwhile, more productive, more meaningful to others." Alana Baranick, "Life on the Death Beat"
"'I always read the obituaries in The Times,' I explained to her. 'They make me bloody glad to be alive.'"
Brad: Thank you for posting this obit. Wayne W. Ruppert, Sr, is my father. He went the extra mile in everything he did, and was an excellent role model and mentor for hundreds of juveniles he worked with -- and for my sisters and I as we grew up. Unlike many "motivated" professionals, he was as equally dedicated to his family as he was his job. For the past decade, I have been working on writing his biography; it's an incredibly entertaining, poignant and uplifting story, one that will allow him to continue helping others, even though he's no longer on earth with us. I'm asking anyone who knew him and/or was helped by him, to contact me at wwruppert@aol.com To see a description of his biography, visit: http://trigenpress.com/id7.html Wayne W. Ruppert, Jr.
