Emanuel Jr. Ruffin
Posted by Kimball Keller on September 14, 2010 at 8:55pm
My Dear Friend Jr. Ruffin has passed away.
He died of an apparent heart attack last night at home.
Jr. Was a legendary animal trainer and a recent inductee into the Circus Ring of Fame.
He worked as Clyde Beattys cage boy then as a trainer from what Clyde taught him.
He worked on Hoxie Brothers and Ringling as well as numerous other shows.
I will miss you terribly my dear departed friend.
RIP Jr.
