Gomez; brothers Guillermo Gomez, wife Sophie, Arturo Gomez, and Joe Gomez, wife Anna; his sisters Rosalinda Avila, Jeanne Gomez and Mary Gomez Lugo; along with numerous nieces and nephews. Ruben worked over 25 years in the field of construction, working hard to establish his own business as a contractor for Steel Back Construction Co. Ruben was a loyal Steelers fan and often enjoyed spending time with his daughters watching NFL games. Ruben loved spending time working and playing with his grandson Robert, he was a great father and grandfather. Ruben often made time to spend with his family for cookouts, and would accompany his brothers and nephews on hunting and camping trips. Ruben had a great sense of humor, and enjoyed making others laugh. He was a caring and loving individual and he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
