Dot, so sorry to hear of Hec's passing. He was a "Hec" of a guy. I worked along side Hector and a great bunch of guys at Piston Ring Service and had a great time with Hec and the boys. Also enjoyed my time with Hec on The Piston Ring Bowling Team. My deepest sympathies to you and the family. Can't put into words what a true gentleman he was. I really admired and respected him. Rest in Peace old friend! - Posted by: Wade Christensen (FRIEND / CO WORKER) on: Jun 01, 2012
