Coach today I reflect on our past. You came into a group of youngmen's life at the right time. You molded us, taught us and directed us...not in just basketball but life. Personally, we would chat for hours about things and laugh so hard. Now you've decided to go coach in heaven. Well if I know you...those angels are running wind sprints til their halo falls off. I love you Coach Minson Rubin!

I was blessed to have spent an evening with Minson when I was home this past May. It was the first time I had seen him in over 50 years, but it was a true pleasure. RIP brother Gladiator.

Death brings pain that time can only heal,
No words could ease what we truly feel,
But with God his joy is eternally sealed,
So cherish his memories that death can't never steal.
