Marie, I was quite surprised to learn of Reuben's death. I last saw Reuben this past summer, when he came to our house to pick up the truck and take it back to Meadows Auto Center. I did not recognize him. After he told me who he was we had a very nice conversation talking about the days when my Grandmother and his mother used to vist with each other.

I remember Reuben making dry remarks to my Daddy and actually getting him to laugh!!! My Mom used to tell the story of how Reuben would drive a dump truck and our dog Brutus would sit beside him and growl at anyone who came near the truck. I loved him, and I'm sorry for your loss.
