John David Rubino,
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved son, husband to Shirley and proud father of Robert, grandfather to Emma and Connor and PopPop to Jennifer, and a good friend to many. After a long and courageous battle with esophageal cancer and numerous health complications, he fought to the end. A longtime resident of Hollywood, John is preceded in death by his parents, John and Jane (Megna) Rubino.
John was an accomplished and respected accordion musician from the age of 7. He was an avid and skilled Harley Davidson rider, a part of the Precision Thunder Drill Team and lifetime HOG member. He was a past and proud member of the Florida Army National Guard. He completed basic training at Fort Bliss, Texas.
He had a passion for the outdoors, boating and the FLL Boat Club, traveling in the RV with the GoGo Angels, playing and watching football, especially the Miami Dolphins, watching tennis matches and he was a great cook!
John was a Graduated of Little Flower Catholic School, and a Proud graduate of South Broward High School Class of 1963. Go Bulldogs!
