My condolences, Catherine. Hector was a true musician and very active on the forums. I've always enjoyed his posts, filled with spirit and optimism. I'm sad to hear that cancer took him away. Wish you strength in this difficult time of mourning.

So sorry to hear about your loss. It will be strange not to see Hectors comments on the forum. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Tom.

Thank you everyone, each messages are soothing my Heart, just a little bit, but a very precious little bit indeed.

Dear Michael, I am so grateful for your consideration and your kindness :

"I know you are sad, but also know you will be celebrating his life..."
Yes, dear Richard, oh yes. If you knew, yes, in more ways than one.

And I am not the only one, just the last one. Because Hector's third Wife, Emilie, gave so much to Hector, so that he could fulfill his Dreams.

"You have created so much great music together."
Yes again dear Richard.
I could not wait for Hector to resolve our Visa difficulty, it was all about coming together, and ... composing new Music.

Do you know that Hector was just two weeks from his 68th birthday ? Not old ... eh ?

He genuinely did not know, as he was very keen on checking on his Health on a regular basis. And he never complained about any pain at all ! It is puzzling ...

Yes, he was very strong, inner strength and patience in plentiful. He had Mars cunj Saturn on his rising Sign, Cancer, being Aries.

He wanted to live as long as his Grand Father, but he was also longing for the great Cosmic journey. He had great fondness for what he called : the "Universal SELF"

You can't make music fun..... It is fun! You can however make it a drag.
