A celebration of life and fundraiser for murdered SEPTA worker

Posted

The KOP Grill & Tavern, at 128 Town Center Road, King of Prussia, will host a memorial fundraiser on Sunday, Oct. 23, from 1 to 6 p.m. for SEPTA conductor Daniel Ruley, who was a victim of a senseless murder that occurred just outside of his Germantown home on Sept. 11, 2022.

Ruley, a 13-year employee of the SEPTA Railroad Division, was a father of seven with his wife of six years. Ruley was based out of the Center City side of the railroad division, but his impact was felt across the system, since Ruley was what his co-workers describe as “extremely engaging.” He was described by his SEPTA managers as a “man with a smile that could light up a room and a laugh that made everyone happy.” 

When he wasn’t working for SEPTA, Ruley continued to serve the city he loved by joining the FreeMasons and was an incredibly dedicated family man to his wife and seven children.
