Mr. Aldo Ruffolo

Loving husband of Santina Ruffolo, nee Molinaro; cherished father of Joseph (Kimberly) Ruffolo, Aldo (Julie) Ruffolo and Frank (Sherry) Ruffolo; devoted grandfather of Kayleigh, Alexander, Enrico, Marco, Max, Ryan, Aldo, Mia, Luca and the late Matthew; dear brother of Rosaria (Ralph) Scavone, the late Francesco (Anna) Ruffolo and the late Maria (the late Natale) Barletta. He was a master carpenter by trade and an artisan of woodworking, spending 26 years building, shaping, and fixing things with skill, patience, and pride. Tough as nails and always hard working, he had a gift for turning his hands to almost anything that needed repair, leaving behind countless projects that still stand as a testament to his craftsmanship. Outside the workshop, he was known for enjoying life’s simple pleasures; especially Reese’s and Snickers, and his favorite baby back ribs from Chili’s. He was a provider who gave freely to his family and will be remembered for his work ethic, generosity, and the lasting quality of everything he built.
