He farmed and worked at various factory jobs before retiring in 1994.

A very kind and considerate person, Reuben liked the simple things in life. He loved going to county fairs, parades, and various threshing events in the area as well as attending old car and tractor shows. Moreover, he enjoyed fishing and having coffee and visiting with his friends at the Grand Café and Don’s Motor Mart. A member of Bethel Lutheran Brethren Church, rural Joice, he valued his faith.
