Frederic "Dennis" Ruby

Life is much richer having known Dennis. We played a lot of music together and had many other good times. He was one of a kind. My family and I will miss you.
Goodbye my friend.

My Dear Dennis, You were my first love when I was just 18 yrs. old. A couple of years ago, after my divorce, we found that love again. It will take a long time to except your passing. I will always remember the great times we had and the love we "forever shared".

Dennis was a legend in Chelsea. He played at my wedding anniversaries and various parties. His band was terrific to say the least. A true American and a well liked gentleman. He will be sorely missed.

My family and I have many memories of Dennis. For years he used to fish with my father and shared numerous picnics and holidays with us.

When my sister was gravely ill, Dennis called me to inquire about her health and to offer my family support. That meant a lot.

We were very sorry to hear of his passing.

Crystal and I grew up with Denny. My Dad played in his band and I was fortunate enough to see them play many times. Denny was a very good man with a very big heart. He was like a brother to my Dad, and like an uncle to my sister and I. He will truly be missed.

I grew up with Denny and my Dad playing in the bars most weekends. I got to spend every birthday at whatever bar they were playing at and Denny would sing "Good Time Charlie" for me. He will be missed.

Dennis and Karen

Dennis was a good and caring friend to our family. We enjoyed his company and his wonderful sense of humor, and the way that he would spontaneously break into song. We feel so blessed to have known him, we love him and we will miss him.
