MR. RUBE WILLIAMS, JR.

My most rememberable memories of the “Beast” was when he came in my school at Osborne high school and found me and told me to go home now someone had shot some people across the street at the laundromats and he came in looking for me I was 16 years old and then came my little brother Damien who he allowed me to name. Step dad Im going to miss you, one more memory was when I had my son 3 1/2 yrs later he came to the hospital and showed his butt about me I'll never forget that day. I love you pops.

My first great memory shared with him was delivering our son on his birthday! He showed up at the hospital high as a kite 😂.
The next memory was when his club “The Centurion” hired my group
“Sista Luv” to sing at their New Year Eve cabaret. We had a ball! He will be missed, he always made you smile.

Dad lit up every room he entered…you could hear people saying “RUBE HERE” and laughter soon followed!

My kids loved spring and summer mainly because they knew Grandpa would soon be in town for baseball and would stay until late fall when football season ended.

I’ll never forget baseball season for the Southfield Cardinals (IYKYK) and all the fun we had! Truly a family atmosphere! At the beginning of the teams defensive series, Dad would always yell 🗣️ 3 UP…then our crowd would yell back 🗣️ 3 DOWN!!!

Well, one series I tried to start the shout out. I yelled 🗣️ 3 UP…(crickets…) so I tried again, 🗣️ 3 UP…(NOTHING)!!! I leaned over to Dad and said “it’s not working” ☹️ Dad said “Huh?” I repeated “it’s not working, they not repeating after me…”. 🫤 😵‍💫 Matter-of-factly, Dad yells 🗣️ 3 UP….THEN THE CROWD YELLS 🗣️ 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ 3 DOWN!!!!

I said “this some BS”! Dad said “it’s ok baby…YOU AINT GOT NO BASS IN YOUR VOICE!!!” and we laughed and laughed!!!!
🤣🥹😭🤣🥹😭🤣🥹😭🤣🥹😭🤣😭🥹

That was just Dad! A born leader and taught all of us to be leaders and to lead by example! I could not have asked God for a better father in law, He gave me just what I needed and I loved him wholeheartedly! Rest in peace, Dad! I love you more! 🥰❤️😇

Remembering the joy and the laughter that you brought us each time you visited Dayton.
Love - Your Dayton family
