Ruben was actually my great uncle, but in my life he was more like a Grandfather. He did more for me than I could ever repay. Thank you papa, and I can't wait till we meet at the pearly gates. You are missed but not forgotten.

i worked with ruben for 3years at tylers negatives where the capital bar is located now on morton st. he was a fine person and a mans man. little did i know he was raised with another friend of mine who, like ruben served our country in vietnam. my friend told me that ruben was a great soldier and a hero. i did not know that at the time we worked together but, it did not surprise me. RIP my friend and may the lord welcome you with open arms.
