Our deepest heartfelt sympathy for the family. Rube was so very special to all of us. He touched our heart. Rube was the "father of cruisin". He knew that special touch a lot of cruisers have, they help others. Rube and Donna were very special to us, we loved them, Forever in our hearts, The Oster Family

I'm definitely going to miss you my friend. Every time I hop in the Olds for a cruise you'll be with me along with Zac. Heaven will be having some awesome car shows now! Instead of manager's choice I guess you will be giving out a 6' trophy for God's choice? Take my boy Zac for a cruise in your Corvette.
