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.
