Funeral services at St. John's Lutheran Church of Rock Township, west of Osage, Iowa, Rev. Roy Ott officiating. Burial in St. John’s Cemetery.

He was baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church of Rock Township near Grafton, Iowa. Reuben grew up on the family farm and lived there until moving to Mason City in 2016. He attended country school and also the Plymouth school through the eighth grade. Reuben married Zola V. Nordyke on November 14, 1954, at St. John's Lutheran Church of Rock Township. To this union were born two children, Jean and Dennis. Reuben dearly loved farming and he took great pride in keeping everything in great shape. He was a hard worker and a quiet man but always enjoyed a good laugh. After he retired from farming, he continued to help his son with field work and livestock for many years. Reuben served on several Co-op Boards through the years and held various church council positions. He loved to go fishing, especially with his kids and grandchildren. Reuben and Zola enjoyed playing cards, traveling, and getting together with family and friends. He and Zola also enjoyed all the road trips they took with siblings through the years and in later years with their daughter. Family was everything to him and he loved having the grandchildren and great-grandchildren visiting the farm.
