Tony Archuleta and family members of Reuben Archuleta: I have many memories since Reuben's arrival to the Bay Area and his itegration into our California extension of the family. I have enjoyed knowing Reuben over the years. Unfortunately, I will miss the mass in his honor but, my wife, sons and I will remember him fondly. I am glad that my father, Gregory Esq., was able to provide support to Reuben and to keep his spirits up through discussions of the city and federal goings-on over the last year. If you find yourself in San Antonio look me up.
Take Care,
Gregory A., Karina, Nicholas, Gregory N., and Timothy Quintana

Tony & Archuleta/Jacquez Families: Our deepest sympathy in the loss of our cousin, Reuben. I have many fond memories of our childhood rompings and will miss being able to laugh with Reuben about the things we did that got us in to trouble. May the memories of Reuben's life bring you comfort and peace. Blessings, Prima Karen (Gonzales) Valdez
