Tio Ruben, You were my tall, dark and handsome uncle. when I see my boys pumping iron and gulping down their muscle building concoctions, I am reminded of you. I think you were the first muscle man in the neighborhood back in the old days. I tell my kids that if Webster had a definition for Tall, Dark and Handsome, it would say, Ruben Cantu :)
Your quick smile is forever embedded in my mind and your humble spirit is something that few possess and many should strive for (something I will strive for). You made our world so much better, how can you not be missed!! I know you are in a much better place, free of pain, and like the olden days " full of vitality".

We will meet again, say hello to my dear daddy, whom I miss so much.

To the family of Ruben Cantu, Sr.

Our prayers and deepest condolences to you all.

Popo left you quietly
His thoughts unknown
But left you a memory
You are proud to own
So treaure him Lord
In Your garden of rest
For when on earth
He was one of the Best.

May God place his hand over you all during this time of need.

If you knew my grandfather than you know he was, is, and always will be a great man. He didn't talk much but when he did you listened, because everything he said meant something. I dont believe he's gone because he will always have a special place in my heart, I believe he is looking out for us and that his soul is now in peace. His memory will always be carried on in our family.
We'll all see you again po-po in a place where death has no meaning.
See you in the comic books.

What can I say, I am going to miss u. You were always there for me. I remember fondly the way you would protect me from those that made me cry as a little girl. I love you Ruben, and I will miss u greatly....
