Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Minister Ernestine Robinson, officiating. Rubin was a man's man who marched to the beat of his own drum! He was full of life and energy. He loved music and dancing. He was loved by many for his humor and zest for life. Rubin was a native of Tampa and proudly worked for Woodruff and sons for over 30 years. His number one love of his life was his Baby, his wife, Barbara. Rubin was a child of God.
