Dear Carole, Todd & Jillian,
I am so sorry to hear of David's passing. He will always be my first and favorite boss! I learned so much during those six years that I worked for the Rubinger's...

Carole, I was unaware of David's illness and extremely saddened to hear of his passing. He was very supportive of the kid's activities in which we participated from their young age through high school. I know he was supportive of other activities in our community during his life which many can be thankful. I feel fortunate to have had the time with him. On behalf of my children, Gary, Alan, Jill, and their families, we send our condolences to you and your family.
