Hi everyone -

Blondie717 has asked me to post and let everyone know some very sad news. I'm very sorry to say that HectorSF passed away yesterday.

As many of you know, Hector fought long and hard, and he helped so many people, here and in doing advocacy work and leading support groups. He was a member of this site since 2008, and was a community leader in Cirrhosis. My words can't describe all he did for others while fighting his own health issues, but you can read some of his history on his profile - http://www.medhelp.org/personal_pages/user/446474

He was an amazing man. I know, and everyone at MedHelp knows, that this is a big loss for all of you. We offer our sincerest condolences.

Emily

We lost a great man.
The better I got to know him the more I liked him. He was just like that.

I'm stunned.... speechless. Hector has been the guiding light of this forum. May he rest in peace. I only hope that his spirit of helping and educating his fellow sufferer's will continue in the actions of others in a way that will reflect positively on his legacy  that he would have approved. Let us please not, and I am confident that we shall not, allow this amazing human to have died in vain.

OMG!  I am shocked! I can't believe he is gone.  He was an angel.  He helped so many many people here and on other blogs.  He volunteered in hospitals and support groups.
I am so sad. .  He helped so many during their treatment for HCV.  He is going to be terribly missed everywhere.  He is my hero!!  I'm glad I told him.
Emily, thank you for posting

Always fought so hard, a true inspiration to us all. Words cant express my gratitude for all that he did, his words will remain here in our community and continue to still help us all.
