It’s hard to believe that my memories of Hector go back at least 60 years, back to the time he was dating my sister. The earliest was when Hector took Jim and Don Thompson, and myself for a ride in his new hot car. If my memory serves me, right we were driving down the highway at around 100 mph, when dropping us off at home, he said, don’t tell what we just did. Jim and Don ran home (They just live next-door to us ) all excited and told their mother. I still can remember Pearl Thompson coming out of the house yelling at Hector. And another Jasper memory was when Hector told me he had bought Sherry a hairdryer for Christmas but I was to keep it a secret. So I told her I know what Hector got you for Christmas but I’m not going to tell you, but as a little brother, I said I will give you a hint you can dry your hair with it!!!!!! Hector wanted to kill me.
I could go on, and on from Vancouver Island, the wedding, Surrey ( the mushroom farm ), Abbotsford ( THE BIG FARM ), Bradner ( the raspberry, cedar farm and raising kids), and last the move to Cranbrook, while living in a little motorhome, they built their home in three stages.
There were, and still are so many great memories over the past 60 plus years. The best memory that I have is how Hector loved, and cared for my sister, and we Thank God knowing that they are together in glory.
Thank you again Hector
Bruce & Lynn
