Richard S. Milstein (born May 9, 1926) is the founding director of Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education. He established the fund in honor of his husband, Dr. Jordan S. Ruboy, For he loved Mass General and called it his mother church, Milstein said. Dr. Ruboy dedicated more than 50 professional years to Mass General. Dr. Ruboy spent his final two weeks at Mass General as a patient. He decided to stop the dialysis treatments for kidney failure that he’d endured for seven years, and told his doctor, David Miller, MD, that he wanted to marry his lifelong partner. They’d had 48 wonderful years together, but marriage had never been top on their minds until then, Milstein recalled. Dr. Ruboy died five days later.
Ruboy and Milstein’s apartment building at 300 Boylston St, Boston, looks out on the Public Garden, where a magnificent dawn redwood tree near the Rose Garden was memorialized in Dr. Ruboy’s name by their longtime friend, Tom Cox.
