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've not been on the site for long time and just heard this devastating news. What a huge loss for all of us, and for a great many people who will never have the opportunity to connect with our dear Howie. He was an angel to many, and a brilliant angel too. RIP Howie. You will always be beloved and remembered.

Very sorry to hear this. Hector helped so many people on this forum and others after his liver transplant. He will be in my thoughts.

That is so sad. I haven't been on here in a LONG time, so I'm just hearing this news now.  He was such a great wealth of knowledge, an encourager and a real inspiration. He will be missed.

So sad to hear this.  I know he helped me with my fear, questions with straight up honesty, hope and kindness.  Rest in peace.

I'm so shocked by this. I, like sameone  else said, thought the worst was behind him.
Your contribution to this planet was unmeasurable. May you rest in peace Howie.

You were our hero.
So very sad.
