    My best friend was killed today

    My best friend of 16 plus years was killed today. I received the call in the early morning from his wife. It said on the news that two men did a home invasion a little after 1 am and fled in the homeowners truck. My friend was headed north bound on ashlan stopped at a red light when the truck ran the red light and killed him on the scene. A few people here at the museum got to meet him as he was a mego toy dealer at the san jose toy show regularly. His name was Tony Rubalcalba. He will be sorely missed and I was glad to have known him. He was a true friend and shared the same enthusiasm I had for toy collecting. I miss you already buddy. Please keep his family in your prayers. Thanks Jay

    I am so very sorry to hear about your friend. The fact that you speak so highly and fondly of him says great things to those of use who did not know him.
