THOMAS O. RUBY

I am very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I had the good fortune to get to know, and work with, Tom when I started my career at the Vorys law firm in 2005. He was both a great teacher, attorney, and, more importantly, a fine person. He will be missed. Best wishes to his family.

In 2014, when I was 22 and only recently graduated from college, I was utilizing (read: mooching off of) my dad's membership and locker at the Athletic Club of Columbus. I was fortunate that Tom's locker was next to my dad's, because to a 22 year old the Athletic Club can seem like an intimidating place... it was a blessing meeting Tom early in that experience, because Tom immediately made me feel right at home with his genuinely friendly, humble, and inquisitive nature. He may have been the very first friend that I made at the club. I'm regretful that I wasn't able to attend the celebration of Tom's life yesterday... He is someone that I aspire to be more like, and I feel lucky to have gotten to see him with regularity over the past 3 years (both of us being lunchtime exercise regulars). My thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone in his community of loved ones. I'll personally miss Tom very much.

We were saddened to learn of Tom's passing. He was a true gentleman and an astute lawyer. We especially appreciate his kind words at the passing of his partner and my stepfather Ken Beck earlier this year.

Mary Jo, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and all of your families.

Mary Jo, you are thought of today, and prayers are being offered up on your behalf, for peace & comfort in the days ahead.

Mary Jo, We are to sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He will be missed by all. -Dave and Kim Bailey
