I met Ruben early on in life. Ruben and his family lived on the corner of Park Place and 22nd and I lived on the corner of Park Place and 23rd. Im talkin 1951, kindergarden. Ruben was always a very pleasant fun guy to be around. I cant recall him ever being at odds with anyone all thru them years. He married Mike Morenos sister and his brother Pat passed a few years ago. Pat was a good friend of mine, a few years younger but a real jokester for sure. Ruben will be missed. I was hoping that he could make it to one of the get to gethers at Franks pizza restaurant but he didnt.
