For over 65 years, they worked tirelessly to make a happy home for their children, raise their grandchildren and help others. Rubin enjoyed laughing, gardening, attending church, good food, and spending time with friends and family. In his final years, his quiet strength allowed him to face challenges with dignity and grace, and fully appreciate the gift of life.  He will be dearly missed.
