1916 ~ 2004

Our Beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Manuel Rubal, passed away June 11, 2004 from natural causes.

He was born June 20, 1916 in Veracruz, Mexico, married his eternal companion in 1946, and then they moved to the United States and became citizens.

Manuel is survived by his wife, Rosary; children, True, Lou, Joy and Manny Jr.; 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren

Manny was a pioneer in aviation working for United Airlines from its infancy. He served in World War II in the Air Transport Command. He taught himself celestial navigation, Morse Code, radio communications, construction, and built three homes. Manny joined the LDS church as a young man and served faithfully in many callings.

He will be remembered for his kindness, charity, forgiving spirit and positive outlook on life! But mostly he will be remembered for the love he had for his family.

We will miss you DAD. Have a good flight<! > .
