    Hector may you Rest In Peace. You and Aurora were such good friends to my sister Velma for fifty years. A friendship like that are far and few. She loved you both so much. Hector now you can pick on each other like old times. Love Sandra Soto and family.

    I’m really saddened by the passing of one of my best friends of well over 50 years. I’m going to miss his positive outlook on life, and his jovial attitude. Dear compadre, I pray The Good Lord Grant’s you peace and eternal rest. You will be sorely missed. May you rest in peace until we meet again.
