    Reubin, my brother from another mother, has been a close friend for around 40 years. We first met riding the same piece of equipment on the DFD in 1070. However, our friendship really grew after we left the department. I moved to SW Colorado and later found out that he and Kathy had a place in South Fork. I dropped by for a visit which ended up in a life long friendship. We helped each other on several different projects; mine, his, and the Lord’s. This world is at a loss, but I know Reubin is now praising God in His midst. I will miss him, but rest assured that we will meet again soon. Kathy, Jane and I grieve with you, and are praying for you and the family. Much love, Ray and Jane White

    Our thoughts and prayers are with your family today and the hard future days. Reubin would say hello or nod whether at church or in a store. Thank you for your service to God. His friendship with my parents lead them on many wonderful building trips. When they arrived home we heard about the wonderful adventures that everyone had. Our Love, Helen K and Roy R

    I am so sorry for your lost. I remember as a little girl riding my bike to your house in the summer to fill my pockets full of candy to go out and herd sheep. I loved sitting with you all in church as David Daniel preached. And the hugs that he would give me every summer and Sunday. He will be deeply missed and forever in my heart! Love you both very much.

    says:

    I think about you so often, Granddaddy. It’s March, our birth month, a time when every year I’d see you and Granny Kathie. You’d make a special trip just to make me physically feel your love. The special conversations while you held my hand are memories I’ll cherish forever. The effort from you and Granny was always felt and noticed, I will never forget all you are. I love you so much and miss you terribly.
