Larry Rubin Obituary
LARRY RUBIN
October 7, 1947 - May 21, 2019
Bakersfield native, Larry Rubin passed away on May 21, he was 71. The son of Irene and Harry Rubin and brother to Gary. Loved by his three daughters: Libby Chaudhuri of Redwood City, Lacey Northcutt of Visalia, Rachel Rubin of Bakersfield and five grandchildren.
Forty years as a local Pawn Shop owner, a member of the B'nai Jacob Congregation, and proud of his 41 years of sobriety in AA. He reveled at making a joke, grabbing a partner for a dance or sitting in his fishing boat on the Kern River. He knew a little bit about everyone and everything. Larry was generous, funny and thrived in being different. Later years spent living in Visalia close to his daughters, he enjoyed attending Portuguese festas, going around to the local circuit of senior dances, and casting his fishing line with his grandsons Johnny and Jordan Northcutt. He was known for being a "character" but by those close, he will be remembered for his big heart.
Graveside services will be held at 12:00 noon on Sunday, May 26 at Home of Peace Cemetery, inside the grounds of Union Cemetery, 730 Potomac Avenue, Bakersfield, 93307.

Rubins family,
I am just now seeing this and want to convey my heartfelt Condolences to the Rubin family; children, g'children, brothers, and friends. Larry reached out to me and helped at a really low point in my life. I have always been grateful for him. He was there when no one else was and for that I loved/appreciated him.
I moved to Indiana 4 years ago and missed our conversations after moving. He was a sincere blessing in my life.
Thank you...

I've known Larry, both in and before AA. He was funny when I needed a good laugh and he was serious when I needed advice, I will miss him dearly!
With love, Clyde G.

I'm truly sorry to hear of Mr. Rubin's passing. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his family. Jeremiah 29:11, 12 assures us God is thinking thoughts of peace towards us, to give us a future and a hope. And that if we come and pray to Him, He will listen to us. In the days to come may you find comfort in that hope.

My very first boyfriend. We lived across the street from one another on Harmony. We snuck out for breakfast at 3 in the morning and rode motorcycles down
China Grade Loop. Funny, smart, handsome and always good for an adventure. I will miss you. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
