My deepest sympathies to the family. Art and Ruth were my Godparents. My parents were Harriet and Frank Bromberg. I remember stories of Art and Ruth, Harriet and Frank and Art and Leonna all getting married in the same year. Ruth sent me a birthday card every year until I was like 45 years old. I thought of her often as of late.
