10/22/2009 Jim and Linda Irgens (McAllen, Texas) Jerome so sorry to hear of your dad's passing I wish I could have seen him when we where home last. I still remember the first day I met him when you moved to Williston. I remember all the trips we took together to Canada and the good times we had. I will never forget him. He will be missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.

10/22/2009 Dean Hermes (Polson, Montana) Your dad was a fine man. He gave me some early lessons on life when I worked for him as a high school student in the summers at Goodyear tire in Williston. I have always remembered some of those lessons. God be with you Mr. Ruden and thanks for taking time with young people like myself and others. May your family be consoled by knowing you touched many lives.

10/23/2009 Mark and Laurie (Edmond, OK) Jerome and Gayanne, I am sorry for your loss. You are both wonderful people and although I never had the pleasure of meeting your father, I can see he did a great job raising you, which reflects on him. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. Mark and Laurie Mitchell
