ROBERT J. RUBY

Just a note on this anniversary of his passing... Doug and I would like to let you know there is a bright light missing from this earth without Bob in our lives. We have passed down to our son, Greg, a lot of Bobs favorite sayings. Including Ruby Tuesday, the Bob Ruby Short Cut and the Straights of Ruby in high school! We spent many weekends watching the guys tear down and rebuild many VW engines just for something to do. Sports Car Club, MYF, trips to Wisconsin and all the rallys and...

To the Family of Robert Ruby

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I loved his family like they were my own even Harvey.
I have not seen Bob for many years. He was my High School Sweetheart. We went together for four years. We thought we would be married.
I have wonderful memories of Bob. Senior Prom, Wisconsin Dells, trips to Chicago, watching the stars, camping, Road America, Drive-in movies with our friends, Racing, Corvair's, Pinto's.
I have a shoe box full of...

To Bob's family,

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Although we had been out of touch for some time, I have always considered him to be a great friend. He taught me much of what I know about fixing cars, skills that I utilize to this day. I think of him often. We had some amazing adventures together.

Rest in peace, friend.

To the Bob Ruby Family,

My sympathy goes out to the entire Ruby family. I got to know Bob very well through Bob's brother Dick and sister-in-law Brenda. We have many fond memories of our boat trips and camping on the Mississippi River. I always admired his relationship with his daughter Megan, he was a very good father- she was his world! He will be sadly missed.

Our deepest sympathies to the family of Robert Ruby,
We first met Bob in high school. While the rest of us were always looking for something interesting to do, Bob was always doing something interesting. I learned to drive a car with a manual transmission in Bob’s fabric sunroof Beetle. Bob was with me when I bought my first new car. Bob and I made many trips together into Chicago to buy car parts at J.C. Whitney. We also made many trips to Wisconsin, to visit Mark at Stout State...

I am sorry to hear of Bob's Passing. I met Bob in high school through our mutual interest in cars. Bob had access to his parents wonderful heated garage. We spent many hours there turning wrenches keeping our cars running. I remember helping Bob turn the exhaust manifolds around on his turbocharged corvair. We pointed them out the back and added straight pipes. We thought they sounded great but the police did not think so when they stopped him.
Some of my other memories involve the...

Dear Ruby family

Very sorry to hear of Bob's death. I always loved his family and have fond memories of spending time with them. Bob taught me how to drive a stick shift and I spent hours hanging out with him in the garage as he worked on cars (I never learned what all those parts were, where they came from or where they went back!). I did learn a little about tools, though! I remember his big smile and big brown eyes,slalom races, trips to Wisconsin, sewing a red velvet dress for...

Dear Ruby Family
I am sadden to hear the news of Bob passing away. We grew up in the same nieghborhood and our families where freinds so we spent alot of time together. Many of my favorite memories growing up invovled Bob, as kids we would spend hours building a large excavation site in the back yard with our toy trucks. One summer we decided to mowed lawns together, one of our customer had a lawnmower that would not start, so to "fix it" we totally dismantaled it, it never ran again....
