Rey Ruiz
It is my duty, and with the heaviest of hearts to report Rey Ruiz, junior past president of American Legion Riders, Department of California, Post 328/Chapter 328 Norco, California, died on Jan. 19, 2022, at 0153 hours and was transferred to Post Everlasting. Rey impacted everyone he met. His presence and leadership will be greatly missed. On a personal note, I had the distinct pleasure of getting to ride and work with Rey. I will miss him greatly. Please keep his wife, Ida and son, Gabriel in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Funeral details and arrangements will be shared by the family.

Words alone cannot adequately capture what Rey’s service has meant to the Department of California and specifically the Riders. He will be truly missed. I greatly appreciate Director Smith’s statement about Rey and I offer condolences and prayers for Rey’s family on behalf of the Department of
California.
