Dad (in loving memory)
Ruben Rios Parra
Ruben was a doting father who we love and miss everyday. He was always excited to begin sugar skull season and would frequently engineer or improve processes to help us produce more sugar skulls. Sugar skull season has not been the same without him but we continue to push forward because we know how much he loved it.
