George W. Ruggles

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jack Lyons on October 19, 2022:

George and I did not know each other well while cadets, but we got together in Belgium in the early 80's when he was working for a firm marketing chain saws and related hardware. I was at SHAPE in Mons, and he arrived at my ancient farmhouse to help me with chainsaws, chains, etc. to cut trees and create firewood effectively. That connection led to meals together for another year. He was always charming, engaging, and sincere, accompanied by a sense of humor. He loved telling stories about his MP days and the famous plebe skit in the mess hall. Rest in peace my friend.
