So very sad..I am heartbroken. Hearing Reuben sing " You belong to me" at Bananakeet was pure magic. One of the truly great BVI talents.."See the pyramids along the Nile..watch the sunset on a tropic isle...." Watching the sunset without hearing Reuben will never be the same.

Truly a sad day, my condolences to his family and friends. One of my fondest memories of White Bay is sitting at One Love and listening to him.......He brought a big smile to many a traveler over the years.

So, so sad…We enjoyed his music at the HI and have been longing to hear him again…As a guitarist I loved listening to him playing his 12-string. We listen to his CD’s often, his music will endure…

So sad to hear this. Had a great conversation with him at Ivan's one evening between sets. He told me about the radio stations he listened to when he was young, the artists that influenced him, and how he came to play the 12 string instead of the 6 string. Always looked forward to seeing him and listening to his music. He will missed by many.
