Obituaries

Dear Rueben, I am proud to be first to sign your guestbook, what an amazing life you lived and enjoyed on one of earths loveliest locations La Jolla, Ca. The jewel by the sea, I visited all the time when I lived for many years in north San Diego my children remain there today. The reasons I am drawn to honor you are many for me. One you were born right before my mother was in 1922, and perhaps even at the same hospital back then as Canton, Ohio was my hometown as well until we moved in several smaller nearby communities. Many of my family rest there. Your game of Life was greatly enjoyed in the early 1960's on our family homes tables with my pianist genius older brother (wonder if he always won because he cheated) we never knew the enjoyment we shared was result of your minds creation. I wish I would have known you to say thanks, I recently lost my Aunt of 99 years in Canton on my birthday the possible victim of covids beginning in late January 2020. Yet unknown to the world just emerging. Reuben Your kindness and boyish inventive mind was a gift, now im sure God has a gift for you, that of Eternal Life with him. You might not have thought you had reservations, but Let your heavenly Father make that appointment for you. Im sure he has many children there he needs a hand with developing games and joyous fun and smile making gizmos for, sounds like a job waiting to me.....you have reservations you just didn't know it...Few people make it to 99 that he didn't have his hands on their whole life the whole way through. La Jolla is as close to heaven as earth can get so your ticket had to be pretty fair to get you there. I hope to see you myself one day, just not real soon. Give me 34 more years talk to the Boss for me and I'll check out and in at an even 100. (I would like to beat you by one). Peaceful rest and joy in the light and shining glory of God 🙏 be yours Rueben, and thank you from all the kids myself as well. Selah
