Many years ago Ruben saved my mother-in-law after the hospital had given her up for dead. She went on to live another 3 productive years. I am forever grateful to him.

Dr. Chuquemia Took care of both of us.
Keep Jim alive for 84 years!
He was more like a good friend, we loved him,
Before I was doing EKG I worked with his son Rolland at Ingalls Hospital.
My thoughts & prayers are with all of his family at this sad time.
Love Norma

Wonderful Doc, and an even better person. He was caring and compassionate, and loved his patients. He was a blessing to the community he served, and was ceaseless in his attempts to teach and educate both patients and healthcare staff alike. He will be greatly missed.
