Was that his last Reuben?
Yesterday, I learned that a former coworker passed away this past Monday. He was an older guy and we didn't interact very often in the 5 months we worked in the same office, but he did leave an impression. I would guess that he was in his late 70's, possibly early 80's. He had a very sharp yet dark sense of humor. My last memory of him was going to his desk to fix a problem with his computer. He had just come back from the nearby deli and was several bites into a Reuben sandwich. Three months later he would die peacefully and at home. Ironically, I had my first Reuben in a good 10 years on the Sunday before he died and thought about him when I ordered it.
