Leonard David Rubenstein

May 10, 1937 — September 22, 2020

Indianapolis, Indiana

Leonard (Lenny) Rubenstein, 83, of Indianapolis died peacefully on September 22, 2020 with his final days spent surrounded by loved ones.

Born in Chicago, he became a diehard Chicago Cubs fan and met his beloved wife, Bobby. They were married on September 18 for 60 years.

Lenny attended Drake University, served proudly in the Army reserves and retired as a restaurant equipment salesman. He was a member of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, the Broad Ripple Kiwanis Club, a retired board member of the Hasten Hebrew Academy and a former president of the Pinchus Rosenberg Family Society. He had a passion for all things food including his favorite meal of Montgomery Inn ribs. The light of his life included his two adorable granddaughters, Wrigley and Mara, his son Jeffrey and his daughter-in-law Jennifer. His dreams came true with both the birth of his granddaughters and the Chicago Cubs winning the 2016 world series.

Lenny is survived by his wife, Bobby (Gumbiner) Rubenstein, his son, Jeffrey, daughter-in-law Jennifer, granddaughters Wrigley and Mara. He is also survived by sister and brother-in-laws Susan and Bradley Carlins, nephews Michael Carlins, Steven (and Rose) Carlins, great nephew Matthew Carlins and great niece Rachael Carlins.
