Ruben,  I remember one of the last times you came to visit. I told my husband that I wannted to  go to the  club and he said  no because I had a messed up foot.  You convinced him to take me  out anyway.  We made a little  bit of spectacul because I walked into the club with a walker.. We had so much fun.  I spent the night shouting and dancing in my seat  and you danced while me and Rafa teased you. First, you danced with a black girl a few times then you decided not to  dance with her anymore because she was coming on too strong and you were afraid she wanted to take you home.  Then there was the Joto that kept asking you to dance,  you kept saying no but that didn't stop him from coming back again and again. Rafa kept teasing you and we laughed all night.  I don't remember saying thank you for that nightt, if I did it wasn't enough. I ment to say something  later but I never got the chance.  Remember the moment we were walking down Main Street in front of the pool hall, I was hobbling along in my walker and we passed some people that felt so bad for me? Honestly, I have never felt more loved by a person than at that moment,  not just anyone would bother to take you out  with a bum foot and you did. Thank you brother,  I have carried that moment in my heart since then and I always will .  God bless you.

It breaks my heart to hear this tragic news.  Ruben you will be missed. I will always remember those great memories we shared together. From those years at Hoover middle school, to them  Golden Valley High School yrs! Also had the honor of being your best man at your wedding. My heart and prayers go out to the Rivera Family!

Ruben, I will never forget you friend.  Our last conversation I made you laugh. At work you called me Princess of Darkness. I don't know you came up with such a  colorful title for me. Boy, did it make you laugh. You were a great man. I am ever so thankful for our friendship. Rest easy my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. God bless.
