Simsy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Post from Freddie Gorman's son on FB reads as follows; For those who keep on posting about uncle Jimmy Ruffin passing on, he did not pass on. However, he really needs healing prayers right now. And when I say right now, I MEAN RIGHT NOW!!!
