We are so sorry for your loss. Ruby was a wonderful friend and band member. We thoroughly enjoyed picking Ruby up to take home to our performances. He was such a joy to spend time with. Ruby always had a joke to tell. He loved sharing memories of his life experiences and his family. Ruby was a great man. You were truly blessed to call him husband, father, and grandfather. We were truly blessed to call him a great friend. Praying you find peace and comfort in our heavenly Father’s loving arms.

My sincere condolences to Annabelle and Michele. May you be comforted by your many good thoughts and memories of Ruby.
Ruby was always a delight to spend time with. He unselfishly shared his encyclopedic knowledge, information and experiences. Ruby loved telling jokes, discussing his military experiences, career in pharmacy, politics, religion, current events, music and lots of other subjects – but the subject he most loved to talk about was his family. Personally, I consider myself fortunate to call him a friend. We are all going to miss him greatly.
