Linden Revere Nuby Sr., was a caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He passed away surrounded by his loving family on May 10, 2022, at the age of 91. Linden was born on August 3, 1930 in Pomeroy, Ohio. He attended school in Bidwell, Ohio. He met the love of his life, Earnestine, while being stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Lots of love and laughter was shared between the two over the course of their 60-year marriage. Together, they had five children: Dyceria, Marvella, Linden Jr., Mark, and Lucretia. Having enlisted twice in the Army, he was extremely proud of his military service. He served in Germany during the Korean Conflict as a paratrooper with the 82" Airborne Division.
