Gary RUBINOFF Obituary

GARY RUBINOFF April 17, 1961 - July 25, 2022 The family of Gary Rubinoff regretfully announces his sudden passing at his home in New York City, at the age of 61. He was born April 17, 1961 and grew up in Toronto, graduated from Western Law School and the Ivy School of Business. He was a devoted husband of 29 years to Deedee; and doting father to Wilson and Jackson. Loving son to Sheila and the late Mel Rubinoff; and son-in-law of Don and Jill King. Caring brother and brother-in-law to Howard and Julie, Fred and Shoshana, Janet and Andy, Peter and Sandra, and Alison and Peter, and the late Tracey Rubinoff. He was adored by his nieces and nephews, and his many friends, and was always someone they could rely on for anything. Gary's early passing leaves his family bereft, but memories of our time together will live on forever in our hearts. There will be a private family service and a private family Shiva. Donations to a Charity of Your Choice.

Deedee and family. I just read about Gary's passing in the Western Law bulletin. My father and Mel are cousins. Gary and I were at Western law while I was in first year and he was in third. We didn't know each other well but he was very kind and helpful to me that year. I am so sorry for your loss.

We are so very saddened to learn of this news. For many years, Gary was very close to our family. He made us laugh so hard, particularly when imitating how he interpreted our French Canadian dialogue. Gary was always so so generous and fun. You will be missed by the entire La Traverse family, Gary.

Terribly sad to get this news. I remember most fondly the many wonderful times with Gary during our university years and beyond. He was a generous person who loved life. He was the perfect person to share the fun times of our youth. He will be sorely missed. Love Joe
