RUBY, Clayton Charles - C.M., B.A., LL.B., LL.M., LL.D. (honoris causa)
It is with great sadness that his family announces the death of their treasure, Clay, on August 2, 2022, at the age of 80, due to complications after heart surgery - a great, tragic irony since Clay was a heart on two legs.
Beloved spouse of Harriet Sachs, adored father of Emma (Jane) and Kate (Andrew), cherished grandfather of Esmé and Caleb, and dear brother of Brenda (Bobby).
Clay practiced criminal and constitutional law for fifty years and was committed to using his legal skills to make the world a better place. He succeeded.
From the start of his career, Clay was a staunch fighter for justice, a brave defender of the unpopular and disregarded, and a calm presence in any crisis.
He was wholly himself -- principled, warm, without fear and unparalleled in any debate -- for the entirety of his life. He died happy and without regrets.
In lieu of donations, go out and change the world.
"Ring the bells that still can ring."
A Celebration of Clay's Life will be held at 2 p.m., August 9th, at Mt. Pleasant Funeral Centre, 375 Mt. Pleasant Rd., Toronto. Please wear masks and bright colors.
