Marco Rubio's father dies at age 83

Obit rubio father-822183319_v2.grid-4x2 Mario Rubio who fled Cuba to bring his family to America, has died at age 83. His son, Marco, ascended in Florida politics to become the first Cuban-American speaker of the House, and is now a leading candidate for U.S. Senate.

Marco Rubio often invoked his parents' story in his political life. He canceled a high-profile debate Sunday on Meet The Press to be with his ailing father, who suffered from lung cancer.

"My dad worked as a street vendor, security guard, apartment building manager and crossing guard," Rubio said in a statement. "But for most of his life he was a bartender, and by all accounts a great one. But his greatest success came from the two most important jobs he ever had: husband and father.

"He was very proud of my public service. And over the last 18 months he became an expert channel surfer, constantly searching for my next television interview.

"I was blessed to be raised by a world class father. And I thank God for allowing my father to live long and healthy enough to see that the sacrifices he made for us were not in vain."

Thank you for posting the news about Marco Rubio's father. I was not aware that he had passed away recently. There is no doubt that there is love and respect from Marco Rubio to his parents, and from them in return.
