I was very saddened to hear about Rubens passing. My most deepest and sincere condolences to the Chavana family. I was just informed this past weekend. We worked together back in the 80's at Joe Brand, McAllen, Tx. Ruben had a great sense of humor and always with a smile on his face. May you rest in eternal peace friend.
