Obituary...............
Harry Franklin Rue was born in Jobstown, New Jersey, January
6, 1940, to parents Harvey and Esther Rue. He was preceded in death by his son,
Henry Rue.
Mr. Rue is survived by a brother, Earl Rue, a sister, Gladys
Kleinknecht, wife, Emily Bland Rue, son and daughter-in-law, Jason and Courtney
Cain Rue and grandchildren, Mary-Cain, Samuel and Harrison Rue.
Harry lived a life of adventure. When he wasn't attending to
chores on the family dairy farm, he was exploring the countryside by
motorcycle. After graduating from Rutgers University, he joined the United
States Navy and earned his aviator wings. Harry flew anti-submarine missions
that guarded U.S. and territorial coastal waters during the Cuban Missile
Crisis. The adventures continued as Harry balanced his 53 year marriage and a
professional flying career. He was a dedicated and steadfast father, and a
particularly proud grandfather. Even up to his final days he enjoyed exploring
the countryside by skyways and highways with the greatest of
friends.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Friday February 8,
2019 in the chapel of Little & Davenport Funeral Home. Dr. Bob Cain will
officiate. Interment will follow in the Alta Vista Cemetery. The family will
receive friends at the funeral home Friday from 12:00 p.m. until the funeral
