Reuben was a good man and Mason. I was proud to have been his friend for the short time I knew him. He always had a good word to say. The world was a better place because of Rueben. He will be missed.

May my love and prayers be with Judy and the surviving family of Reuben. He was a wonderful and loving Pawpaw to my boys Garrett and Hayden and like a father to me through my marriage to Paul Parks. He will be remembered for his kindness and selflessness to all. My boys will forever be reminded of what a special man he was and how he loved them more than words can say.

Brother, you WILL be missed by all of us and anyone else who ever knew you. Words can't describe what kind of Brother, Dad, Step Dad and Grand Father you were. The world is a sadder place with you gone and I will miss you with all my heart! I'll never forget you...Charlie
