Reuben was a gentle soul who didn't seem to have a mean bone in his body. It's hard to picture him driving a 30-ton M-24 Chaffee tank over German vehicles in eastern czeckoslovakia in May 1945, but he did! I congatulate him on a life well-lived, especially considering the meager prospects he faced growing up during the great depression. I salute Loretta Galusha for her tireless devotion to keeping Reuben comfortable and in his own home at the end of his life,and Sue Stoddard and all the people at the Adirondack Tri County Nursing and Rehab Center for giving him an active social life when he was too frail to get out on his own. On behalf of everyone at Hudson headwaters Health Network, I extend my condolences and best wishes to Reuben's entire family. He was a Real Adirondacker!
