My sister, Janice Elaine Broughton, had wanted to say that Elder Reuben and our Dad, John Broughton, were good friends. Our Dad also liked dancing - he used to be a professional dancer in fact. Dad would be sad at Elder Reuben's passing, too. But when Jesus comes again, they will be reunited.

Reuben and I were close childhood friends in Dillon so many years ago. I learned that he was in Charleston and brought him a picture of his old childhood home. I shall miss him. Deepest sympathy to his family.
