Bob Ruddell is very much on people's minds, and rightly so. In addition to
the memorable tributes being posted here, ILA's *Literacy Today *is
planning a special memoriam blog post in Bob's honor. It will be published
later this week. I'll keep an eye out and post the link here.
The managing editor of *Literacy Today, *Colleen Patrice Clark, requested
that as one of the co-editors of *Theoretical Models and Processes of
Literacy, *I share a few words on behalf my co-editors about the impact of
Bob's work generally. Her kind invitation sparked these words, which I
share here:
"Bob Ruddell's legacy will live on. I know how hard he worked to support
teachers and graduate students from across the country. My co-editors,
Norman Unrau, Misty Sailors, and I will miss working with Bob on the next
edition of *Theoretical Models and Processes of Literacy.* He'll be our
inspiration, still."
Other people are planning to share words of praise on various social media
sites regarding Bob's enduring contributions. For instance, Misty Sailors,
who manages *TMPL 7th *edition's Facebook page, is posting there.
If anyone would like to post to Instagram or Twitter and is in need of a
small black and white photo of Bob, I'll be happy to send it your way. Come
to think of it, Bob's photo on our own website is likely of higher quality.
Finally, as we scurry about making plans to share sad news of Bob's
passing, does it bring a bit of a smile just remembering Bob's own ready
smile and twinkling eyes? That's the image I see right now.

Memories.....
I just told my daughters that Bob Rudell died and we recalled the summer of
1967, we
(Debi, Karen, Wendy, Ken and I) were living in the Ruddell house. Ken and I
were teaching
a summer institute for Bob at UCLA and sharing results from Ken's reading
miscue research of
eight different populations being completed in Detroit where we were living.
I was a doctoral student and for one of my classes, I collected "play party
games and songs" from children
in the inner city of Detroit in schools where I was supervising preservice
teachers which resulted in one of
my earliest articles. Our kids (12, 10, 8 years old) were going to Detroit
public schools participating in similar
games and songs.
We. therefore, asked our daughters to share our research by demonstrating
from their own experiences.
Their performance was being heard through the large open doors and soon
there were university students
passing by coming into the class and hand clapping along with the rest of
us in response to the movements
and sing alongs.
Bob enjoyed recalling this experience when we met during conferences over
the years.
Debi, Karen, Wendy and I remember fondly the warm, knowledgeable and
engaging Bob.

Thank you all for sharing these beautiful memories of Bob. Jim Flood and I
always looked forward to our visits with Bob. The literacy light is dimmed
with his passing but what he contributed to our understandings shines
brilliantly. In the last year we have lost so many of our giants. What
they have each taught us still cements my foundational understandings of
literacy learning.

Thanks, David, for sharing your thoughts about Bob. I, too, shared my
remembrance on the family website:
The day that I received a letter from Bob Ruddell, saying that I had been
admitted into the doctoral program in Language and Literacy at UC Berkeley,
changed my life forever. To be Bob's advisee, was the best of all worlds as
a graduate student. He seemed to know everyone in the reading world and
pushed me to know them all, too, whether introducing me to NRC (now LRA),
supporting and mentoring me through my qualitative dissertation (in a
university of mostly quantitative studies), or nudging me along so I could
finish in a timely manner. He jovial approach to life, his friendship, and
his unwavering belief that all kids can learn to read, have molded me into
the reading teacher I am today. Perhaps most memorable for me, was his
generosity in allowing my father (former Dean of the Graduate School at
Colorado State University), to hood me, alongside my advisor. It meant the
world to my father. Amy and Bobby (Rob), I first met you as very small
children. I mourn the loss of your father. Sandy, all the good times we
shared at IRA/ILA bring a happy smile. Thanks for loving and caring for
Bob over the years---he was a very good man. MaryEllen Vogt

I just posted this remembrance for his family on the website for which I
sent the URL a while ago. Wanted to share it with RHF colleagues
Sandy, Amy, and Rob,
I was saddened to learn of Bob's death. Though we have not kept in touch
over the last 20 years, I thought of him often, remembering how much
influence he had on my career. He was a good friend of my advisor, John
Manning, so I was introduced to him while I was still working on my
doctorate with John at Minnesota. I also heard him talk at IRA in 1969,
and I was inspired because he was firmly committed to, as I aspired to be
committed to, studying the language foundations of reading. So he fast
became a second mentor to me, always willing to discuss research, practice,
and just about any other topic. And over time, we became friends,
especially during discussions of reading research and policy and life at
our post-party late evening get-togethers at what was then NRC.
In 1973, my wife Mary Alyce, along with my 2 year old son Matthew, sublet
the grand Ruddell house on Spruce Street in Berkeley while the family was
on a holiday trip (back east I imagine). What a treat to spend 2 months in
that grand 5-7 bedroom house.
He has left a great legacy to the study of reading, not only through
his scholarship, but also through his many books for teachers, his
leadership in the International Reading Association, and--perhaps most of
all--his intellectually rigorous and interpersonally generous mentoring of
the next generation of PhD students at Berkeley. When the topic of Language
and Literacy in the Graduate School of Education at UC Berkeley comes up,
Robert Ruddell is the first name that comes to my mind.
I wanted you, his family, to know that will be greatly missed but long
remembered and always admired--by me and hundreds of colleagues in the
profession of those who study language and reading.
