Aguinaldo Rubio, Jr.

Aguinaldo Rubio, Jr., 52 peacefully passed away in his home and met Our Lord and Savior on Monday, May 12, 2014, surrounded by his family. Guine, as he was affectionately known by his family and friends will be dearly missed. He was the best dad, husband, son, uncle, brother and friend.
