Joseph H. Ruff, Jr. age 84, passed away May 11, 2013 at the Rosebud Healthcare Center in Forsyth, Montana.
Joseph was born on September 4, 1928 to Joe Ruff and Mary Heiser Ruff. On February 3, 1949, he married Lillian Anderson and they were blessed with four children.
Joe lived his entire life in Custer, Montana, where he farmed and ranched with his father and his sons. He had many passions. In his early years, sports were a big part of his life, some of which were playing baseball, basketball and officiating basketball games. Other favorite past times were water skiing performing in the band and playing ice hockey on the slough. Also at sixty years old, he took up the sport of golf, mastering the game on RARE occasions and making many fast and long-lasting friendships. Joe was also a proud and concerned citizen spending time on many boards.
He served twenty-one years as the director on the Farm Credit Services board, as well as serving on the Custer School Board, Custer Congregational Church Board, FHA Board, ASCS County Committee, and being a member of the NILE.
He left behind many beloved family members. His wife, Lillian, four children, Gary (Della), Les, Vonnie (Steve) and Scott (Annett), seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, Brother James and Sister Virginia.
