I'm beyond sad and sorry. I'll miss his smile and laugh and all the help he always offered. The school won't be the same without his custodianship.

Rufus brought much joy into the hearts of so many people at Riverside High School, Yonkers, New York. Knowing Rufus from 1998, he will be dearly missed. At 7:30 a.m. in the morning, he would be greeting and conversing with teachers, students, administrators and co-workers in hallways, the elevator and classrooms. Rufus was a hard worker doing his job with detail. He touched so many lives. He was a natural humorist. Behind all his humor was a tall, gentle human being. He left us fishing in a resevoir; a favorite pastime activity of his. God bless you.

Forever your friend,

Julie Bollenbach
