Our deepest condolences to cousin Candie and all the families suffering from this great loss. Our memories are very fond of cousin Ruben. Great and loving husband/father to his wife and all his children. Our family was blessed to have him live with us for awhile in San Francisco where we really got to know him. It was a joy to have him around. He made us laugh and was a gentle and kind soul. Our parents enjoyed his company as well. May perpetual light shine upon his eternal soul and rest in the Hands of God...Amen.
