He loved everybody and everything about his job I always loved watching him on the news. He always had a big smile on his face. Was so funny and happy all the time there is nobody else like him. I am definitely going to miss him. It's just not going to be the same anymore to see the news without Sam Rubin there his passing definitely left a big hole in my heart. He will be missed so much. God bless. See you Sam Rubin and my condolences to everybody who had anything to do with him, his wife and kids and the family at KTLA 5.
