There are so many memories of Uncle Reuben...annual weeks at Folly, watching him sitting next to Dad playing many games of Rummy Royal, your family visits to the UP when I was young and how you included Brad and I in your life when we lived in Charleston. Our deepest sympathies to you, Tina, Di, and Glenn. He will be greatly missed. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, Brad, Linda, Amanda and Becca.

It was my privilege and pleasure to have worked with Reuben for a number of years at the Shipyard. He was a good worker, a great person, and represented the shipyard and Planning Department in the finest of ways. He will be missed by all that knew him.
