Dear family.  Mrs A, and children

Hector was one of the best.  He inspired me as a dad, and as a Catholic.  We always spoke at church.

When Hector was flying the Fire Dept bird at Meigs field, he always invited me to stop at the firehouse when i would be working over time for the cta or cha police.   We took our lunch there and the thirty or forty minutes with your dad was so enjoyable.  We talked about my parents and my wife being immigrants, Hector s child hood, and what we had in common..when the kids where quiet it was time to check on them. 

I am so sorry i missed the memorial mass.  Found out from Tom Downes, none of my children knew either.  

If any one is in heaven its Hector.

In my thoughts and prayers at this tragic time.

Pat Madden, Emie, Meg and Kate Madden.

I just learned of Hector’s passing and was sad I could not make the funeral. Hector was one of the nicest persons around. I remember he helped launch the soccer program at St.  Christina in 1994 and I had the honor to coach alongside him. He knew his stuff! He was always cordial and kind. A true loss.

Hello Wendy it’ been a long time , Danny Pedemonte  , Gus called and informed me about Hector ,  I was very saddened . I have very fond memories of him from our youth . He was very nice person and I always admired him . I  am sure you and family  will miss him dearly . My sincere condolences may he rest in peace . Hector wherever you are,  all the love to you …

Hi fam, one more about my good friend. Got my pod now listening to the Rascals (60's) and his fav song he shared was "It’s a beautiful  morning!" Yes it is my good friend!

Hi fam! Wanted to share a memory of Hector.  John Trotsky and I went with Hector to Catholic conferences, always hearing the faith a few yrs ago!  Few yrs after that we'd get together for breakfast at Chuck's on 79th. Good time drinking Argentinian style coffee and good conversation! Sure miss that!

The Bokowy family would like everybody to keep Hector in their thoughts and their prayers and in their conversations and he will always be around us. God bless him and the entire Aramburu family.

To the Aramburu family, I’m so sorry to hear of Hector’s passing. I always enjoyed sitting with him in the stands during volleyball games. We both chose to sit up in the rafters because we both had a touch of volleyball Tourette’s. 
I will forever remember his smile. Hopefully you see that smile in the grand kids, see some traits in them that remind you of him. 
Peace to you all.

Hector, I'm sad to hear of your passing.  Your a good man.  I've known you since around the age of 10.  God bless you and may you RIP.

Wendy, please accept my condolences on Hectors passing.  God bless you as you move forward.

Hector you introduced a foreign sport to St. Christina. Soccer. For many years you organized and coached the children of the parish on a shoestring budget. Many of us parents had the pleasure of spending our days exercising and teaching new skills to the young student athletes. 
     You taught much more than soccer skills. These boys and girls learned many attributes that prepared them for school and life itself. Cooperation, respect for others, confidence in themselves and so many others. These are things they are now teaching their own children. This is your legacy.  Rest in peace, my friend.

There are not enough pages in a book of all the memories I have of you.  My heart is breaking.  I love you forever my friend , John
