Ruth was on my back from day one!
From jumping off the railroad bridge into the Ichnetucknee River....
to riding the bike,....
she never refused an offer for adventure, because I was
her favorite son in law.
I love her and will miss her deeply.
Love you mom,
Ronnie

This is a memory of Lou and Ruth
on the Jubilee in the waters off Key Largo. Lou had gotten “bent”
earlier in the year and could not dive, so I was being Ruth’s lobster
“buddy”.
Late in the day, we found a
lobster tucked way up in a honeycombed coral area and tried for the
longest time to catch it with no success. I was willing to just call it
a day and let the lobster be, but not Ruth!
She kept working and working,
finally she took out her now world famous slate and told me to hand her
regulator to her through a hole in the coral. She took her tank off, and
I handed her regulator to her through the hole and she proceeded to
crawl in and wrestle the lobster out. As a cloud of sand emerged from
the hole, Ruth appeared clutching the lobster. It is by far the largest
lobster that either of us had ever caught! After finally putting the
lobster in the catch bag, and getting her gear back on, we “high fived”
and surfaced to show off Lobzilla. There is a picture as proof.
I know that being out on the water
in the salt air was one of Ruth’s joys. It was one of many great days
that Farrell and I got to experience with her and Lou. I will miss her
smile and sense of humor and easy going “Keys attitude”. I miss my
“buddy” greatly.

We
were at the Pilot House and the one on the steps is just before they
threatened to throw us out for climbing them. Of course we assured them
we had been thrown out of better places than this and for much worse, and
seeing that we were cash customers, well they caved and let us take the
picture.
All will know Ruth and Louie. The two others are Frankie and Krista
Pate. I swear there was NO DRINKING INVOLVED!!!!!
Your lying friend,
Frankie Pate

It was a bit of a tradition for several years that Lou, Ruth, Rebecca, and
Sarah would come down to our house in Tavernier for Halloween. Lou
would dress up as a Pirate and I went as a Drunken Cow (note my costume on
the chair in front of these guys) and go out Trick-or-Treating with the
kids and the adults would stay at the house and give out candy. On
Ruth's right is my Mother-in-law and on her left the Meridith's, some friends of ours
from Islamorada.
