HectorSF

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

I will never forget this exceptional man.  He will be in my thoughts forever.   So gifted and so giving.

I keep thinking about Howie and how much he helped all of here, no matter what he was going through, even flat on his back in bed, he would still answer our questions, calm our fears or even bluntly tell us when our info was wrong.  He is my hero, always. I will never forget him

I know what you mean Dee I think of him often. On another forum I am in, a member thanked me for all my help.  I said I am just paying it forward for all the help I received in the past from those that came before. I was thinking of Hector and added I know what I know because I am standing on the shoulders of a giant.

It has been almost 2 years since we lost Howie, Hector. We all loved him so much! He was our hero, our guiding light. He is missed so much, words can't convey the pain.

If you'd like to send a card to me, I will see that it is hand delivered to Howie's family. PM for my address

Howie's kindness was worldwide so challenging for people to come to SF on the 24th for his memorial

Warmly,
