Jim Ruby

I met Jim and Peggy when I worked for my dear friend,Cecil at his water company in Buda, during the early 90's. Jim was a real pistol and kept me laughing. He would stop by almost everyday for a good argument on politics, theology or the like. Somehow it seems fitting that Jim graduate this life while on an adventure, rather than fade away through illness or age. My heart goes out to Peggy, Cecil and the family. Your in my prayers.

During the 1980's the Ruby ranch, at Buda, was leased by the YO Ranch of Mt. Home Tx. I was manager of the facility and had the privilege of knowing Jim. I always admired his straight forward approach to life. You always knew where you stood with him. My wife and I enjoyed the evenings we spent visiting with Jim and Peggy, under the trees at the ranch lodge. We often talked about his extensive collection of guns. I was impressed with his knowledge . Jim will be missed by many. We would like...

My husband,Jim Summersett,piloted the Howard 500 aircraft Cecil Ruby and his family used for trips to San Jose where they were building highways in Costa Rica.The Rubys are an outstanding Texas family and their story deserves to be published.

What better legacy could there be than to leave a good example for living a full and dignified life. A real class individual.
