UNEXPECTED UNCLE Ruben O Pena
YOU LEFT US EARLY I MISS YOU MY FORMER PARTNER -IN- CRIME
Give a hugs to Beautiful gramma, Niño Ray and Steve for me. 
See you later 
R.I.P. Ruben

I will never forget you, my friend. You took care of me when
I was in San Francisco for the first time and I had a bad time, I will never forget it. We planned to come to you this year and Corona would come! The last time we talked was 6.2. and everything looked fine. I can not believe that. My heart broke into a thousand pieces. I will miss you terribly. Thank you for everything. I will never forget.😢🥺💔 
I still have it after 20 years.

Ruben (Step Dad) You will be dearly missed 💔
It was so shocking to hear of your passing today.  My heart is in so much pain right now 😢. 
You raised me when I was at a very young age up to my late teenager years. We always kept in contact with each other, we always had good conversations and  we would laugh at your crazy jokes,  we talked about a lot of personal things, things that I will hold close to my heart.  
As a kid to a teenager you watched me grow you always seemed to understand me while I was going through my teenager years. You had a huge heart and we’ve had such fun times with you. Your jokes always made us laugh. I remember you showed me how to iron clothes, wash clothes, ride a bike, fold clothes, and wash cars. I remember going to work with you when you sold cars. 
I will NEVER forget our every Friday night dinners as a family. Your family values were important and I have kept YOUR traditional family values in my very own personal life now! (Family outings, family gatherings, compassion, respecting the elders, hard work,  kindness goes a long way, just a few to name...) 
I, recently sent you these pictures to you ( including some other photos I will not post here) , they mean a lot to me as I know they did to you. You were so excited to receive them. You called me with so much happiness in your voice and thanked me for sending them. Your memories will forever be in my heart. I love you!! 
Rest In Peace Dad! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽❤️

Words cannot describe how devastated my family is learning the loss of you, Ruben. You took me under your wing and claimed me as your daughter and my children as your Grandkids. I can never express my gratitude towards everything you have ever done for my family and I. Today I lost you and it doesn't feel real. But today you became my Angel.  I will forever cherish all of our memories together.  I know you will look after us and I will be missing you so much until it's my time to see you again. I love you with all my heart.

I don't even know where to start. It's been hard not being able to call or text to see how your doing. Listening to all your stories and sending me pictures of everything you bought at auctions, estate sales and antique stores.  Gonna miss you! 
You were so talented in many things. 
 Very impressive when it came to antiquing as I learned while shopping with you in Oakdale and Modesto, and your skills at playing the slots at the casino were amazing. You couldn't lose!
Not to mention your sense of humor and the love you had for all the kids. 
One of a kind! There'll never be another like you.

Through out our years we've always been close,  even when we hadn't seen each other for long periods it was always easy to reconnect. 
Spent a lot of time together.
Our next planned adventure to Route  66 would never happen.  You got your wings before I did. 
You always said you wanted to leave before me so that I could make sure you looked your best on your way out. 
I did everything to give you a great send off.  I know you were watching and saying "oh yeah, you did good".
RIP my brother.  Till I see you and the rest of those who have gone before me.  Love you always!

I'll always will remember Ruben's quick wit and humor. If he knew you, then you had to be alert of what joke he might put on you. Then again, on a serious note, he was always willing to help you out. I enjoyed doing different things with him. From horseback rides, showing off his cooking skills and using me as the Ginny pig to bike riding in San Francisco. Now I can reminisce and say they were great times. Thank You Ruben. You can rest in peace now. 

hi cousins this is Sandy I just wanted to let you know how Rubin my cousin always came to my mom and dad's house Uncle Milo and Tilde on 17th Street helping them with their phone lines and also drawing these beautiful pictures he was an artist as well God bless you all I'll  my blessings are with you all .... Love Sandra....

From as far back as I can remember you always had a sense of humor,  from walking through the door on Santa Ana Ave making jungle sounds or singing Summertime. But my fondest memory was when you were playing with Roxanne. You would lay on the floor and suck your stomach in and play dead. Roxanne would get close to see where it went and you would pop it out. Your hairy belly would hit her face and she would get so scarred and grossed out. Her reaction was so funny, but it never failed, she would always fall for it. You were like the Pied Piper when it came to the nephews and nieces. They all adored you. You will be truly be missed by all.
Love You and I'll See You Later.

I will never forget our trip to Yosemite national park that is one of my best memories i had with you
