I agree with Troy, Ruben was an Edinburg Legend and deserving of recognition by the politicians and residence of Edinburg.

The city should put up a statue of Ruben if you lived , worked or was just visiting Edinburg chances are real good that you knew, talked to or saw Ruben on a daily basis.
You will have not met a nicer person anywhere he always had a smile and would wave to you as you went by.
At the very least the city of Edinburg should do something in honor of Ruben because he definitely was a part of Edinburg.
Rest In Peace Mr Ruben Escobar
You will be missed but never
Forgotten...........

During the early 1990's I worked as the manager for the Melrose Store at the University Plaza, a location that Ruben used to visit every day to say "Hello, Miss!". Years later, every time that I was around Edinburg, a big percentage of the times, I had the opportunity to see Ruben around the City, and always, a very respectable person that is leaving a beautiful legacy in the City that he adored.

Had the pleasure of meeting Ruben back in the early 80's while working as a police officer for the Edinburg Police Department. I retired after 30 years of service but I will forever remember my contacts with Ruben. He was always in a good saying hi to everyone even though he didn't know you. He would call me "Boo" and also just like he would call everyone "cabezon." Ruben a true Edinburg icon. My condolences to the family. Rest in peace Ruben.
