Our beloved father Ruben A Lopez was born in Hermosillo, Sonora Mexico. His childhood was a brief one. He became an independent young man at a very early age and started working around mechanic/body shops in Hermosillo at the young age of 12. At the age of 20 years old he made his way to Nogales, Sonora worked there for a while this making his path to pursue the so sought after “American Dream” ,which brought him to Tucson, AZ in 1969,and became his permanent residence.
This would be the start of his career as an AUTOBODY AND PAINT TECHNICIAN. He became well known for his vas t knowledge in the industry and was employed by very reputable agencies such as: Holmes Tuttle Ford, Selby Lincoln Mercury, Spray Masters and retired from Orielly Chevrolet.
I will proudly state on behalf of our mother, my sisters and brothers that was the true meaning of the “American Dream.” Which for him was to provide for us his family all he could and be able to live a better life.He fulfilled it all the way to his final days.
