Where to Begin...Ruben was many things to so many people. He was a Man of Faith and I was so proud to know him. He was a Husband and his eyes would light up when he spoke of Geraldine. He would often talk about her and how proud he was of her. Ruben was a Family Man, a Dad, and he set the example for other Dads to follow. So proud of his kids (now adults)!! We would often commiserate about raising teenagers and all that involves, but his love for them always shone through!! He was a Manager, and a great one. He built a hard-working, knowledgeable team that could handle anything that came their way. His team would have "followed him into battle" if he needed them to! I knew that no matter what I asked of Ruben and his team, they would take care of it! I have been blessed to work with a lot of great people and Ruben tops the list. He loved his team!! Ruben, the Comedian, could always make me laugh...we really needed to laugh sometimes with the pressure and stress of our jobs. Sometimes I would call Ruben just to check in at work, not really needing anything, but knowing that he would make me laugh and my day would be a little bit brighter. I am heart-broken that this wonderful man left us way too soon, but the impact he had on me and so many others will continue for many lifetimes. The way he lived and loved is a testament to who this man was!! Hopefully, we will all take some of this away with us and be better people for it. Geraldine and kids, know that you were loved and anyone who spent time with Ruben knew this. Ruben, my friend, Be at Peace! Rest well knowing that you have a wonderful family and many, many friends who love you and will miss you always. All my best, Debbie.
