Another sheep has left our fold. Uncle Hector always had a story or little joke to tell. I will always remember when I was a young girl, Uncle Hector bought home ice cream on Friday’s and shared them with us, I always looked forward to it.
It is never easy to let the ones we love go but there is something greater than us that will help us through the hard times to come. Support and care for each other during the days ahead, family times are important times. God Bless.
Our sincerest condolences to you all. Hector was an amazing man who had a wealth of knowlege that he was more than willing to share. One of the kindest souls, he enriched anyone who was fortunate enough to know him. He will without a doubt be missed.
