Miss you Ruben and Irene too.  I will not forget the good times we had in Vegas -

My precious uncle Ruben...we may have to let go, but we never have to forget.  Because of you, I have many wonderful childhood memories that I will forever cherish.  Thank you for all the love and generosity you always showed towards us.  Uncle Ruben you will forever be in my heart.  I love and miss you so very much.  Aunt Irene thank you for taking such good care of my uncle Ruben.  God bless you.

Uncle Ruben- My memories of you will live with me forever. I treasure the last few months-final hours praying with you on every visit. Your love for all of us will never be forgotten. Our love for you will never stop. God blessed us with you in our lives.

I was sadden to read about Ruben passing away. My deepest and sincere condolences to the Barcena family. I worked at the Barcenas home for 5 years answering the business phone and I grew to love the family beyond words. Such a great family.

I met Ruben about 15 yrs ago, he was my wife's uncle, I would see him and call him Rubeniski and he would just give me a big smile ,he always developed the pots for Super Bowl, which we held the party at our house and he and Irene just loved coming to our house, he would ask me to make him a margarita, pina colada or whatever he desired, he knew I love to make special drinks, Ruben we will miss you but know that you are always with us in spirit

My most sincere condolence to Irene and the entire Barcena family.  Ruben was my neighbor and friend, may our good Lord console your family and have you in his loving arms.

Truly an amazing pair - we will miss you Uncle Ruben, but we all have some incredible memories! Love you Aunt Irene, Rebekah Wierson

Ruben, I had the pleasure of working with you for many years.  Richard and I will always remember our Vegas trips with you and Irene.  We had great times. RIP my friend.

My Uncle Ruben, was like a father to his many nieces and nephews.  Always ready when we were in need.  He had a great sense of humor.  He had nicknames for all of us.  My Uncle will surely be missed.  He was taken too soon; parties to be planned, trips to be taken.  I was fortunate the he lived next door to my Mom so I saw him every week.  Uncle Ruben we will all be together again and until then we will have a big hole in our hearts.  Love you so much, La Hobomutt

Mr. Barcena was my coach at Franklin Elementary in 1969. RIP coach!

I had the pleasure of working with Ruben for a number of years. He was a kind and generous person and I have missed him very much over the years since he retired. My condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences to the Barcena and Barraza families.  Ruben was a a true gentleman and a kind soul.  He was my mentor when I was an intern  diagnostician, and then when we became colleagues he continued to be a role model for me.  His professionalism was only surpassed by his compassion and generosity toward his peers and the children he worked with.  Thank you Ruben for all that you taught me and for all of the lives  you touched with your kindness.
