Private Interment Assumption/Calvary Cemetery, St. Cloud, MN. As Reuben would say, he was born on 8 28 28. A lot has changed since then, but one thing that never changed was the fact that he was always there for anyone who needed his help, advice or guidance. No matter what, you could always count on him. Reuben was a son, a brother, a dad, a grandfather, a great grandfather, a friend and most importantly a spouse to his loving wife Kathleen for 70 long glorious years. You could almost always find them together, side by side. Their love was immeasurable. Reuben worked hard his whole life and valued a strong work ethic that had been carried on through generations. He was a Veteran and served in the US Navy. He worked two jobs for most of his life & retired from Amtrak in 1989 in traveling mechanical operations. Reuben was very social, wherever he went he was known and loved by everyone. He was a long-time active member in the church and the Knights of Columbus. Reuben was a self-taught craftsman. His woodworking skills developed from project to project, from making cradles that his granddaughters slept in as babies, to doll houses that they played with for hours and even a playhouse for his granddaughters he built in their backyard that they still cherish to this day. He truly was very talented. He loved Trivia, Bingo and Puzzles. He loved trips to the casino, playing cards & playing games on his computer. But, most of all, he loved being around his family and friends.We were blessed to have Reuben in our lives and to say we will miss him is an understatement.
