Ruben, What can I say to make the pain go away from Melissa, and the girls? I am truly a fan of yours... I have known her since she was a baby, and when she met you and spent the last 4 years with you was the happiest time of her life. When I met you it did my heart good and to find out you were a Chargers fan, wow that did it and you turned into my Chargers buddy, I loved that. I'm running out of room so I just want you to know I love you, and I always will. fly with the Angels, welcome to the family and God bless you, Melissa and all your children, and Grandchildren. With Love,

My condolences to everyone in the family… I have so many good memories of Unk Ruben and my dad, seeing them together I knew I could get away with whatever that day… He was the koo unk that anyone could connect with and talk about anything and not one word would get repeated… seeing this today, makes me think about life even more than ever, I regret not visiting him more— the “Vigilizer”
