Our beloved Father Richard “Rick” Ruebusch passed away the evening of May 8, 2024, at 90 years old and was the Patriarch of the Family. Husband of 68 years to Jeannine, Father to Rick (Debbie, predeceased 2023), Susan (Steve), Denise (Ken), and Pamela (Henry). Grandfather to Yvonne (James), Vanessa (Mitch), Rachel (Brandon), Sarah (Andrew), Mitchell, Caroline, and Victoria. Great Grandfather to Amira, Moraine, Kettering, Ellis, and Arthur. Brother to Ruth Ann and Hazel (Bob, both predeceased). Favourite Uncle to many on both sides of the family in Canada and the USA. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1933 and grew up in a German neighborhood where he attended St. Augustine’s Catholic School. When he was a young man he joined the US Air Force and became a flight instrument specialist and stationed at Presque Isle Maine. It was here he met our Mother Jeannine, and they married in Campbellton, New Brunswick in June 1956. He moved his family to Canada in 1964 where he made his career and was well known as a leader in the Transportation industry throughout North America. He was larger than life and had so much charisma. He loved making connections with people, and he loved entertaining and being with his family especially our annual Boxing Day parties with the entire family. This was a tradition! He will be missed greatly by his family and friends and all of those who's lives he touched.
