David Rubin Obituary

David Paul Rubin Mt. Pleasant - David Paul Rubin, elder son of Lloyd and Gloria (Sunshine) Rubin, deceased, passed away peacefully at home on Monday June 15, 2020. He is survived by his loving wife, Judith (Donaldson); stepdaughter, Kathryn Word; grandchildren, Samantha and Joseph Word; brother, Mitchell Rubin (Patricia); their children, Aaron and Sarah Rubin; cousin, Meredith Lurman (Isadore); a great many other cousins; and dearest brother and sister-in-law, Richard Donaldson (Daphne); their children and grandchildren. David shared his engaging smile, sense of humor and "radio voice" with all of us, including the thousands of people whom he photographed during his long career. He was dedicated to providing them with the valuable gift of memories and a moment caught out of time. Always an Eagle Scout with a gentle heart, David cared more for others than himself. He will be remembered for his devotion to his family and lifelong friends, his legendary storytelling, and for enthusiastically following NASCAR, playing golf and cheering for the NY Giants. Burial Service will be private. In lieu of flowers, please consider either a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or planting a tree in David's memory. A Gathering in Celebration of David's life will be planned for a later date. A memorial message may be sent to the family by visiting our website at www.jhenrystuhr.com.

Judy, my condolences to you and your family. I worked with Dave at Lifetouch School photography for years and also wedding on the side with him. We spent a lot of time together in Minnesota and we had a blast each time. Of course we drank a lot, but we had a great time. We didn't keep in touch when Dave moved. He went to SC I went Idaho. I just had an urge to look him up and found that he had just passed. He will always be in my memories and a friend that I miss. Bless you Dave. You have taught me many things in photography. Rest in peace David.

My heartfelt condolences. David was my mentor in the boy scouts, and he was instrumental in laying a foundation of solid principles that I work to uphold every day. He was always giving of his time, and extremely patient. He comes from a fine and wonderful family. God bless David!

David and I pretty much grew up together although a difference of 9 years.
We shared an interest in cars and more cars. We went to boat shows and enjoyed sporting events. I spent much of my 20's and early 30's at the Rubin house. My mother and David's father were brother and sister. Gloria many times referred to me as her 3rd son. I miss terribly all the goings on at 26 Penn Street. The house was full of laughter, loud TV, barking dogs. Night time in the pool was purely a blast mostly with some pizza and or Carvel ice cream.
Unfortunately life has many changes and in time we make adjustments.
I'm goiyfvzing to miss you David as I have missed Lloyd and Gloria.
I will make adjustments.
