Karen and the entire Hoppmann family, what a nice, nice guy Reuben was. We always enjoyed running into him while out and about and catching up. He always had a smile and stories to share. Please know we are keeping all of you in our hearts!

It was always a pleasure to see Reuben at APCO whenever I visited. I had the pleasure to travel with Reuben & Jeff to Texas on a project. Great memories. We got to experience Buc-ee's for the first time. Reuben was a friend who would do anything to help you out. He was one of the good guys that has left us too soon. Rest in Peace my friend...you will be missed. Jim Jerina

I met Reuben at Yahara Materials, he was always so kind to me when I first started. He knew my husband at that time worked there also! I’m in tears now with my husband, you were such a nice guy nice with such a big smile always! I always enjoyed seeing you every morning at 51 pit and shoot the the breeze with you! Rest In Peace my dear friend. Doug and I send our condolences to your family and we are looking seeing you in the future! Rest In Peace and thank you for being YOU!

I was so saddened to hear the sad news today. Reuben graduated with my brother Brian Hahn. but was also a lifelong friend, neighbor, classmate and a wonderful man, husband, and father. I will always remember his friendly smile and great attitude towards life. My fondest memories were in high school when he was an all-star wrestler. His parents were involved in the wrestling club, which was like a family spending a lot of time together at meets. I was a wrestling cheerleader that had the privilege and honor of cheering for him on the mat and attending the wrestling state tournaments every year. My prayers and condolences go out to his wife, children, grandchildren, siblings, and all other family members and friends during this difficult time. Sincerely, Brenda Hahn Wagner
