Our family is deeply saddened to inform you that Jim passed away Tuesday April 10th. As most of you may have not known, Jim had been suffering from pancreatic cancer. We are comforted he is no longer suffering or in pain. Thank you everyone for your prayers for Jim and our family during this difficult time. We appreciate the love and support you've shown to us. A ceremony honoring Jim will take place on Saturday, April 21st, 11 a.m. at the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Arts Center, located at 600 River Street, Austin Texas, 78701. A reception will immediately follow the ceremony. If you would like to say a few words at the ceremony or share a memory about Jim or if you have photos of Jim, please contact Mike Ruiz at ruiz.properties.1@gmail.com so we can make appropriate arrangements. Thank you again for your concern and love you've shown to our family. (Mike Ruiz, brother).
