 “Surfing the web” proved to be a worthwhile
pastime for DeWayne and Linda Rublee of Royal Harbor. While searching
for the best builder to construct their retirement home, they learned
that Pringle Development has completed, and is constructing several
successful communities in Central Florida. Their research also revealed
that Pringle Development was the most financially stable builder in the
area.
As a result, the Rublee’s eventually decided
to build a Sanibel model home in the Royal Harbor community. Like many
other residents before them, they made significant changes in the
original floorplans to meet their specific needs. They expanded the
overall size of the home, added a third bay to the garage, and modified
the master bath.
The Rublees came to Florida from Hinsdale,
Illinois, which is located just west of Chicago. DeWayne was employed by
Illinois Bell for 20 years. He began as a craftsman, and eventually
served as a Manager of various departments. Before retiring, he worked
for ten years at AT&T in a number of Managerial positions. Linda’s
employment record is very similar. She also worked for both companies,
in Corporate Educational Training for 14 years at Illinois Bell, and
later, in Management at AT&T.
They have two daughters, one living in
Johnsburg, Illinois, who is the mother of two children, and the other
resides in Chester, NY, and is expecting her first child.
DeWayne and Linda have enjoyed boating for
almost 25 years. They spent many enjoyable hours on the lakes and rivers
in and around Illinois. In fact, their boat had facilities that allowed
them to spend several weeks at a time traveling on Lake Michigan, Lake
Huron, and along the Mississippi River.
DeWayne is very active in Royal Harbor and
the surrounding community. He serves as Chairman of the RHPOA Finance
Committee, and as Chair-man of the Property Management and Maintenance
Board at St. Philip’s Lutheran Church in Mt. Dora. At St. Philip’s, he
is also a board member and is on the building committee. During his free
time, he enjoys gardening in the beautifully landscaped areas around
their home, and he likes to use the computer for a variety of
activities.
Linda is a member of the community Book Club
and also serves as a volunteer at St. Philip’s Church, assisting with
the Bible Study Program and other activities. She also enjoys all types
of cooking and spends some of her free time on the computer.
The Rublees were very pleased with the
construction process of their custom home. Their construction
Superintendent, Cliff Libby, kept them well–informed as their new home
was being completed. They were very happy with the personal attention
they received during the building process.
If you’re still looking for a retirement
lifestyle that will fulfill all your retirement dreams, you may want to
