Hector was a proud patriot, a loyal employee, but most of all a dedicated father, brother, and a friend to all he came across. He always had a smile and welcomed all that came by the house. Hector enjoyed telling stories about his past experiences to everyone. His providers always made his favorite foods and had his snacks ready for him. He loved cooking breakfast for his family on Sundays, listening to music and playing his guitar, dancing with his wife and daughters, watching old Mexican movies, going to boxing matches and always supporting his favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys.
“Our Dad” will be greatly missed by his children, and
(Great and Great, Great grandchildren) nieces and nephews.
Dad, you left a wonderful legacy, and the kitchen will always be full just like you wanted it to be!
