Gerald Rubenstein
September 24, 1936 - April 5, 2025

GERALD NORMAN RUBENSTEIN: On Saturday, April 5, 2025, it is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Gerald Norman Rubenstein, age 88, who transitioned peacefully surrounded by his loving family. Jerry was the son of the late Ruth and Morris Rubenstein, devoted husband of 66 years to Marcia Rubenstein, proud father of Ellen (Mitchell) Livingston, Carol Rubenstein, Lynn (Larry) Lebowitz, and Rachel (the late Steven) Kerchner. He was the grandfather of Sam (Jessica) Livingston; Adam Livingston; Amy, Alyssa, and Ben Lebowitz; Jonah, Aaron, and Shira Kerchner; great-grandfather of Ruby and Aurora Livingston; and brother of Judy (the late Richard) Rubinstein.
Jerry brought honor, integrity, and a healthy dose of wit to every dimension of his life. A graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, he owned and operated Ruby's Cleaners, and later a pioneering uniform rental business, for 65 years. His entrepreneurial spirit, combined with his tireless work ethic, afforded him success in the business world. Adventurous and resolute, Jerry was a prolific hiker and bicyclist well into his 80s, traveled the world alongside Marcia, and maintained an abiding love of music and art. He embodied loyalty and generosity, both through philanthropy and in his care of those around him. Jerry was good to the core and cherished his family above all. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
