Reuben F. Ruiz Jr.

Reuben was a classmate and teammate at Catholic High...but more importantly, he was a friend. God bless him.

Coach Ruiz and my Dad got to know each other as the coach and doctor for the Lee High football team. When he interviewed and hired me teach in Ascension parish he told me to make him proud. I know how proud his family was of him. I have been out of town and just found out today. I'm terribly sorry for the loss of such a good man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Ruiz Family,

We are so sorry for your lost. Please know that you are in our prayers and thoughts. All our love and God's blessings.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

It was a privilege to know Reuben when he was the football coach at Lee High and I was the team physician. In spite of arthritic problems, he never complained or let it get in the way of being a great coach. I remember him as a kind, gentle, caring and humble man. His players loved him. I extend my condolences to his family.

To The Ruiz Family,
We've all lost a very kind, sweet gentleman in Coach Reuben Ruiz. I share your loss Charlotte and Butch, Boo and Nancy, Sharon, Marguerite and all of thr Ruiz family. He will live on in everyones heart because we all have great memories of him. He was always sweet and had a great sense of humor. You are all in my thoughts and prayers tonight. Gina Fryery-Sachse and Family

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To the Ruiz Family,
Doc is the sweetest man I have ever met, I know your family will miss him greatly. I will miss him as a employee and as a friend. I hope all of you will be blessed with his memories.
