RUBY, Stephen – It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of Stephen Ruby on October 9, 2018 at the too-young age of 75, after a short but brave battle with pancreatic cancer. Predeceased by his parents Harry and Sara Ruby and his brother Eric Ruby. Stephen leaves behind his devoted wife of 51 years, Ilana, and his sons Peter (Stephanie), Shawn (Tammy) and Jonathan (Beth). He will also be missed by his seven grandchildren, Eliana, Keren, Noam, Maya, Benjamin, Sam and Charlotte, all of whom made him exceedingly proud. Cherished brother and brother-in-law of Marion and Hymie Tannenbaum, Linda Ruby, Sheila Weinberg and the late Jerry Weinberg. Stephen was also a pillar in the lives of his many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. He will be missed by his special Aunt Miriam. Family was Stephen’s priority in life and his friendships, often many decades long, further enriched his days.
