Jan,

Ruben was one of the few gentle men I have ever known. I pray he finds the best fishing spot in heaven. With Ruben there was also a little bit of craziness from the "old days". The night that he and I, after a long day of reviewing files, parked a company car on the 18th green of the Doral....Deborah and I will also never forget the "morning after the night before" when Ruben came down not once, twice, but three times for breakfast in Tampa after a Progressive Party...

Jan,

It's with great sadness that I write this note of condolence for the passing of Ruben. He holds a very special place in my heart and I will have fond memories of him for the rest of my life.

So sorry to hear about Ruben's death. I consider him a friend and have fond memories of the times we had working together at Progressive as well as non-work times getting together. He was a super mentor to me in learning about the industry and job. He also had a great sense of humor and fun to be around. I know he will be missed by all but especially by his family that he loved so much. So sorry I cannot be in S FL to pay my respects to Ruben and his family. Our thoughts and prayers are...
