You’ve been a part of our family for the last 30+ years and it’s so sad knowing that we’ll no longer see you or get to spend time with you on birthdays, holidays or even just a lazy football Sunday. I thank you Ruben for being such a great dad to Angelina and a wonderful grandpa to Anna and Asia. You grew into such a wonderful man and changed your life for the better and for that we’re so proud of you. We will always carry you in our hearts and bond over sharing memories that we’ve had with you. The Salinas/Gallardo/Soliman family will never be the same without you. We love you and cherish every moment we had with you. 

You have been apart of my life for about 20 yrs.  You have been apart of my recovery family for almost 18.    You have been to every important event for me.   Ruben, it recently occured to me that i was following closer to you than i thought.  When i fist got clean and needed a job, I got one with you at MetroOne.  Then i followed again by getting one at the Trolley.  You have been a big part in helping me understand that family is not always Blood.  I thank God for putting Lennie in my life when i needed someone, when I needed family and most of all when i needed recovery and there you both were.  Thank you for showing me the way!  Thank you for the last 10 years for living Gods plan and for being an inspiration.  Thank you for being truthful and never beating around the bush and calling it like it is!  Thank you for always answering my calls and finding the time to hangout or going to a meeting even if it was to your side of town.  This is soo hard for me to say Goodbye.  Love you and i know i will see you again on the other side.  Say hi to Vernon, Suzanne, and give Ariez a kiss for me.  Rest in Paradise, Ruben.  Until we meet again❤

My heartaches and I still cannot understand this. I know that I miss you & I’m gonna continue to miss you but I’m so thankful to have had you in my life. I thank you for everything you are and everything you’ve done for me, rose & tj. Without you I don’t think we would be the people we are today. I love you because you continued to love us & stick around even when you didn’t have to. I love you because your love goes beyond expected you loved us and cared for us like we were your own & I will forever feel blessed to have had someone like you in our lives. I still can’t believe this. This hurts so much to say goodbye, so I won’t say that .. I will say, I will see you soon Ruben save me a place next to you . Ride In Peace, Until We Meet Again <3

Because we miss you and we always will thank you for raising us. 

“Because I love you, and I'll do anything
I'll give you my heart, my everything
Because I love you, I'll be right by your side.”

I might not have been your daughter by birth but you sure did raise me like I was. Daddy Ruben I will forever be thankful for the things you did for me growing up. I will forever be thankful for times you took to teach me right from wrong when I was really wrong. Growing up my favorite memory will always be the times you picked me up early to hangout and cruise spring valley and our every Tuesday trip to baskin robins. You were a wondering person to step up and take that place in my life even when I became an adult. Thank you for being there when my daughter passed away it meant more to me than you’ll ever know having you by my side it kept me strong and kept me going. Thank you for being you dad and thank you for being there for my daughters as well they love and miss you as much as I do. Please hug ariez for me and kiss her. 

No words can ever express the love or gratitude that I have towards you. Blood or not, you were an amazing father to me, tj & rose even during the times you no longer had to be. Because of you I was able to have a normal childhood & feel love the way a child should, I will never forget with you on yours and moms bed, just me and you cuddling with my guinea pig patches & our cats filip and Felix. Or just simply horse playing with you give each other Charlie horses until my mom made us quit because more than likely I’d cry cause I was a dramatic kid lol or our after school dates just me and you to maharlika or conchings because like you would always tell me, “ I’m the only REAL Filipino kid you had.” Lol because I’m the only one that would eat the balut with you or any of the other Filipino food that no one else would eat except you & I lol or as a kid asking you for things and telling you I want something you would just respond and tell me, “how does it feel to want?” But would get it for me anyways. I’m so thankful to you Ruben & I may not call you dad but that’s a conversation you and I had when I was what 5years old lol you know where you and I stand, you have been in my life and been my dad since before I was 1 & I can’t ever repay you for that. I am just so thankful to have been able to experience your love & the life you gave me. I thank you for being the father you were to me, rose & tj, you gave us a childhood we would’ve never got to experience with you. Thank you for loving us the way you did & always being apart of our lives. I’m gonna miss being able to call on you or just call to talk to you. I love you so so much Ruben thank you for everything you were & everything you did for us. You were the best father we could’ve ever asked for & we love you so much ! Ride In Paradise, Ruben. Until we meet again ! 

Your loss has been the hardest thing I have had to Endure! There are no words to express how much love was in your heart! You were such an amazing man  to so many and inspired such positivity to all around you! I got to know you in so many ways that no one ever will and for that I am eternally grateful! I love you so much and feel cheated out of all the time we could have been together! You will always be in my heart and Although I never wanted to let go it was god’s will! This is not goodbye it’s til we meet again because if not in this life I know that in another we will be together! Thank you for all the love you shared with me and that nothing can ever take away may you rest in paradise!

Ruben was the first one to ever guide me through steps in recovery, he taught me so much about integrity and what it is to be a man! My heart aches for all who I know he's touched but he does live on within us and always will!!!

A love like yours is something people only dream of. 

Thank you for always being you and being there for me. 

Ruben is definetly an inspiration... Living in SD it ain't easy especially getting caught up wid the wrong kind!! This man made it out and brought his loved ones with him !! He taught many how to live and enjoy life. I didnt kick it or talk to Ruben daily but when we bumped into eachother it was nothing but respect n love !! Just wanna say I Love U Brother and I'll see you some day in heaven pare ko!!! Thank you for paving a way for all of us to follow !!  #neverforgotten #oneSolidbrotha
