He grew up on the family farm in Pompey and was a 1941 graduate of Manlius High School.
He apprenticed as a tool and die maker until he enlisted in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He served as a gunner on the USS Minneapolis (CA-36) in the Pacific from 1943 to 1946.
According to his obituary, he received the Bronze Star, the Philippine Liberation Ribbon and the Asian Pacific Medal.
After returning from the war, Rybinski married, and he and his wife Margaret started a family. While working at Prestolite, he attended night school to become an engineer. He completed his career as a manufacturing engineer at Carrier Corp.
He was a parishioner and volunteer at St. Mary’s Church in Minoa.
Rybinski was a skilled woodworker, furniture refinisher, builder and gardener, according to his obituary. He used his skills helping friends, family and his church. He volunteered his time at the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum constructing a replica canal boat.
In retirement, Rybinski and his wife enjoyed golf and bowling. They would travel around the country in their motor home and attend annual Navy reunions.
The couple was married for 73 years and still lived in the home they built in 1953, according to his obituary.
In February, Rybinski celebrated his 100th birthday with the aid of Honor Flight Syracuse. He was on Honor Flight Syracuse to Washington D.C. in 2019.

Mr. Vraciu (which rhymes with cashew) accomplished his most spectacular feat in the South Pacific when he shot down six dive bombers within eight minutes in what became known as the “Great Marianas Turkey Shoot” in the Philippine Sea. He called it “a once-in-a-lifetime fighter pilot’s dream.”
Two of the aircraft carriers he flew from were torpedoed, twice he parachuted to safety, and twice more he was forced to ditch his Grumman F6F Hellcat — brushes with death that earned him the nicknames Grumman’s Best Customer and The Indestructible.
He was nominated for the Medal of Honor and received the service’s second-highest honor, the Navy Cross. And although he ranked as the Navy’s top ace for four months, he ended the war in fourth place. When he died, he was the nation’s ranking living World War II ace, according to the American Fighter Aces Association.
Alex Vraciu, who was just 25 when he reigned as the Navy’s top World War II fighter ace after downing 19 Japanese aircraft and destroying 21 more on the ground in only eight months in 1944, died on Jan. 29, 2015 in West Sacramento, Calif. He was 96.
We honor you, Alex Vraciu.
