So many times I have reached for the phone to talk to you then sit down and cry. I miss our conversations, I miss your advice, your humor, hearing you whistle, or trumpet, the wrinkles around your eyes when you laughed, your loving me through good or bad times, I miss you so Dear Papa

Dear Lois and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this time of saddness and loss. What a wonderful man Rueben was, and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to know Rueben and work with him on several DIRKS REUNIONS. Until that big reunion in the sky....
Until we meet again.............
