Ruben is known by the name Rooster, but if you ask his wife, his name is BAE. Ruben has always been passionate about his family and making a better life for them and he would give anything to make them happy. Ruben enjoyed working out, cooking his famous fried pancakes, or just sitting with his family shooting the dozens. In the last three years, Ruben worked alongside his daughter at her restaurant in New Hampshire, creating new food items and sharing stories with customers.

Ruben is known to be a hilarious man always making jokes and changing the mood of the room for the better. The stories he could tell would last all day, as long as you agreed with what he had to say. The way he bonded with his kids and grandkids will leave an imprint on their hearts until we are all together again.
