Obituary for Ernest Ruby
After a valiant struggle with multiple myeloma, Ernie passed away at Grace Hospice.
He is survived by his loving wife Pam, and his sons Jason and Leanne (Joshua, Benjamin), and Brent and Heather (Carter). Also surviving him are Pam’s daughters Sherrill Dallmann (Jeffrey, Michelle, Alanna, Nicholas), Kristy Nanton and Joe (Alexander, Kyle), and Shannon Stefanson and Grant (Jilian, Reyna, Natalie). He was predeceased by his first wife Pat, his brother Richard, and his parents Harry and Annie.
He attended DMCI and was employed by Federal Grain, Victoria General Hospital and eventually Manitoba Hydro. Ernie coached and managed both of his sons with their sports. He had a great interest in cars since he was a teenager and owned many vehicles throughout his lifetime. He was a fan of the Jets and the Blue Bombers. He supported many charities and was very kind, generous, thoughtful and considerate. Ernie and Pam enjoyed holidays in Florida, Hawaii, Mexico, Victoria, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal and North Carolina. The best vacations for them were when they were with family or friends.
Sincere thanks to Dr. W. Poon, Dr. R. Kotb and Dr. D. Hartley as well as Riverview Health Centre (Salina and Toni), Grace Hospice, Home Care, Palliative Home Care and especially to Shannon Stefanson for being by his side throughout his long journey.
Cremation has taken place and there will be a family celebration at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Cancer Care Manitoba or Grace Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.
Those who love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near, still loved and missed and very dear.
