Harold Rubin, through his decades of activism on behalf of his Albany neighbors, near and far, and his groundbreaking work with CANA, leaves a legacy of neighborhood vitality that should be appreciated as a foundation to be built upon by the current and future generations of Albany’s citizens.

I haven't seen Harold in years, but recall him fondly from my late-70s days of Center Square tenancy. Indeed, he once commented that he would give my Newfoundland dog, Mortimer--never on a leash--a tenant recommendation before he gave one to me....quite an accolade from a non-dog lover in an upscale urban environment. He was always looking out for Center Square Association and its residents. RIP Harold and my condolences to his family. And I still have Newfies!
