Scott H. Ruby, age 64, of Johnstown, passed away on Thursday, May 16, 2019 at Nathan Littauer Hospital, Gloversville. He was born in Gloversville on January 9, 1955, a son of the late Carl Ruby and Margaret Lathers Sowle. Scott was a graduate of Gloversville High School. He was employed for many years at Ruby & Quiri and also at Lexington Center. Mr. Ruby was a member of Gloversville First Congregational United Church of Christ. Scott truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures: chatting with friends and family, writing poems, helping to hold the door open for someone or giving one of his famous bear hugs. Scott truly had the gift of bringing a smile to anyone he came in contact with. He will truly be missed. Scott is survived by two brothers Richard Ruby and Mike Sowle (Teresa), one sister Amy Karas and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Ralph English officiating. Cremation was at Vale Crematory, Schenectady.
