Uncle Hector, I Wrote You a Note and put it in Your Casket. It is very true GOD IS REAL because if he wasn't i wouldn't of seen the signs you gave me like in the sky it said "i love you too" and in math class it said Aunt Andreas E-Mail and for the "Do-Now" it crossed out the 666 which is the devil sign which means you went to Heaven. which means you answered my letter when i asked of you went if you went to Heaven. Thank You for answering my letter Love you always and forever, Your Niece Shannon James

Andrea, Tanya and Nick, I want to express my condolences on the loss of your husband/father and a friend to many. I learned of Hector's passing from a friend who saw it in the paper and then had the chance to speak with Charles last week about what you all went through over the last seven months. As Charles said to me and I am sure you have heard it,as sad as his loss must make you feel, you and your family need to celebrate his life and as time goes on it will constantly bring a smile to your face and a warm spot in your heart. My memories of Hector probably cover more than 20 years. One of the first, is that it was Hector who helped convinced me that I could start my own accounting practice. There are many others. There was the Friday night that he took me along to show me what it was like to collect rents, a "real" education, the basketball we used to play down in Paterson and then in the back of the bar in Clifton, going to Giant and Jet games and then of course playing golf together. Some of my other thoughts of Hector include how proud he was of Tanya when she was in Footloose (I took my entire family to see that) and how much he enjoyed coaching and watching Nick play B-ball. As I write this it is bringing a smile to my face and I hope someday it will yours. Your Husband/father accomplished quite a bit during his lifetime and he and his partners did it all on their own. Next to his family, this to me was my most impressive memory of Hector and for that I have always had the utmost respect for him and his partners. So please accept my sympathies and remember your husband/father as I will as just of those "good guys" who earned everyone's respect. Very truly yours Les Solomon

Thank you so much for always making feel welcome. We will keep you in our thoughts and our hearts forever.

Hector, I have had so much difficulty putting my thougthts into words.So simply put-- You are someone that I always had the utmost respect and admiration for. I just want to say "Thank you" for touching my life and allowing me to be part of yours. You will always have a very special place in my heart(along with your family). I will miss you dearly but truly believe we will meet again. I love you- Oh! and by the way we saw your smirk today when they had to close down Rt. 80 so that we were able to give you the tribute you deserved. Andrea, Tanya and Nick, Hector's love and memories will always be a source of strength to get you through those tough days. I love you. Judy

I wish I could of met you a whole lot more times than I did. When I found out what happened I just kept on wondering why God took you and not somebody else. That night I went to bed I realized that God took you for a good reason. He took you because you are a loving,caring,wonderful Uncle,Dad,and husband to Aunt Andrea. He just needed another "ANGEL" that is loving and caring. The only good thing right now is that you are in a better place. Every night from now on I will pray for you right before I fall asleep. When I met you, I knew you were an "ANGEL" to begin with. I will love you forever and always! I miss you Uncle Hector! Love Always, Kassidy Zummo

Many tell me that I shouldn't feel those discusting regrets for not being able to see you, but I do. When I see pictures of you smiling your bright, beautiful smile it gives me a great urge to want and see it in person. I may drown in puddles of tears, and think about how many miss you, but that only goes to show how much I dearly love you. I've wished to have known you better just so I can grow upon you more. You are an amazing uncle who deserves better than what you had to go through. I try to think of it as this: God needs another angel, so why not get one? He has seen you and how many people you touch and he thought 'Wow, this guy is what I've been looking for. He deserves to have so many people in his life as he did, and I'm proud.' Uncle Hector, you are an angel and many wish to be as successful as you. I'll continue to listen to those amazing stories about you, and I'll grow more than ever. My prayers are with you Uncle Hector. I love and miss you. Love you, Courtney Zummo

Dear Mrs. Nieves, Tanya & Nick, I am deeply saddened by your loss. Mr. Nieves was an exceptional man who touched so many people in so many ways; his spirit and smile will live forever in our hearts. With much love, Tricia Eckert "Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that swiftly blow. I am the diamond glint on newly fallen snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the soft and gentle autumn rain. When you wake from sleep in the early morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft, starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep."

Hector, I still can't believe what has happened recently and I find myself grieving much more than usual. I know if you could, you would have the perfect reassurances and words to make me and everyone else understand and feel better. I know there's a reason for this but these reasons are too hard to find and too long to wait for. Until then Hector, I will be holding you in my heart along with everyone else who loves you. You will be in our thoughts everyday and the enormous void you have left in the family will be a constant reminder of your wisdom, kindness, and especially that smile. I miss you so much already and as I look at your picture while I'm writing this, I get flashbacks of everytime I've been in you're presence, and in my mind, it's always the same smiling face. I really just want to thank you for your love and hospitality and assure you that your life has meant quite a bit to a lot of people. You've accomplished so much in your short time and finding the time for the amount of love you have given is really something to find the upmost of pride in. I love you and miss you very much.

I have such wonderful memories from when our daughters danced together and we went to competitions and our sons played together (i.e. Virginia Beach). He was the most compassionate, thoughtful and generous man I know. Together Hector and Andrea were a beautiful couple - very caring and generous and really great fun to be around. I always felt good when I was in their company because they both had very positive attitudes and outlook on life. He will be missed by many and not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as they grieve for the loss of their husband and father.

Hector, It truely is amazing how many lives you have effected in your short time here on earth. How does one man make such an impact on so many lives in so many different ways. I sit and read in amazement all of the tributes and see and feel the sadness and disbelief in the family and friends you have left behind. Now I lie sleepless at night wondering why God would take a man, a GREAT MAN that is loved by so many and has helped and would have continued to help so many people and will be missed by so many people. Why would you be summoned to Heaven so soon. Why would God send for you when there are so many others to choose from. The only answered I could come up with is that you have got to be needed by him to help spread the Love, Kindness and Joy that you have done for so many here, God must have thought your work was done here and you are needed in Heaven to help him make Heaven a better place for all of us that will follow behind you. You will be truely missed by me Hector and I now even I have become a better man because I have been touched by your presence. Thank you for all that you have done for everyone and may God Bless You. You will be Truely Missed, Michael Z.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the Nieves family and friends. There are no words to convey how sorry we are for your loss. Hector was such a proud, loving and adoring Husband and Father. His spirit was always so gentle, kind and warm. Although he is no longer with us I beleive that his spirit will live on in all the lives he touched and his memory will NEVER be forgotten. Tanya and Nick....the two of you 'especially' will forever be part of your Father. Together with your Mother, they raised such a fine young woman and young man that anyone would be SO PROUD of. I know your Dad will forever be shining down on you with pride and joy. Even if someone did not know your Father, all they would need to do is look at the two of you and realize how special he really was. Andrea...your endless fight of love and support for Hector is truly priceless. You are an amazing pilar of strength, Woman, Wife and Mother. Praying for peace and renewal in all your hearts. Rest in peace Hector...you will be dearly missed.

Uncle Hector was a really great uncle.. i didnt get to see him as often as i would have liked to because of the distance...but he was a really great guy, he gave great hugs everytime i saw him he always seemed happy and loving. I honestly dont think ive ever seen him upset or angry. i did have ALOT of hope for him, after whatever the doctors said..i thought uncle hector was strong enough to pull through but i guess for whatever reason it was his time. i dont know why it would be his time my 2 cousins tanya and nick are gorgeous people, he raised them to always be very kind. My aunt andrea is a really great women and extremely beautiful..she stuck with him the whole way through, she didnt give up hope and kept high spirits. i respect her alot for that. he had a great house, a great job and a really great heart. He really was a handsome guy. i love him alot and i still dont believe this could have happened, i thought hed be the last one to get sick. it doesnt seem real. he had nothing mean to say. to uncle hector, i want you to know youll always be in my heart and as i told you in the hospital before i left the last time i saw you... I LOVE YOU, and im really going to miss seeing you. im sorry i didnt really get as much time as i should have visiting you up north. i wish we could have gone back into NY together again. I wish this didnt happen to you but i cant really do anything about it but i wish i could have. to Aunt Andrea,Tanya and Nick... Try to keep yourselves in a happy mood and just try to remeber how great and fun he was and how hes in a better place now. i love you guys a lot Uncle Hector I Love You and Im Really Going to Miss You. i will NEVER forget you Love ALWAYS Adriana

We, your friends and family have been playing tug of war with God for seven months. He won. There is no more fitting place for you to be, Hector, than at peace with God. Selfishly, I will miss you and your uncanny way of always making me feel better and welcome. You have touched so many lives and this world is truly a better place because you were in it. Andrea, Tanya and Nick what a wonderful man you were lucky enough to have in your lives. Your obvious never ending love, devotion, and dedication are well deserved.

Mr. Nieves, growing up you were like a second father to me. I remember when I was younger you coached many of the sports teams I was on, and there were some weeks I saw you more than my own dad. Your passing is still an incredible shock to me. In my eyes you were such a strong, powerful, almost superhero-like of a man. I always looked up to you and tried to listen and take in all of your worldly and wise advice about life. I truly can only hope to become close to the man you were. I will always hold you in such a high esteem and in a special part of my heart. I will never forget you Mr. Nieves. Love, Joe.

Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough; You're going home." It was an honor to have shared so many experiences with you there. Tanya, Nick, and Mrs. Nieves, thinking about you constantly.

The Plan of the Master Weaver Our lives are but fine weavings That God and we prepare, Each life becomes a fabric planned And Fashioned in his care. We may not always see Just how the weavings intertwine, But we must trust the Master's hand and follow his design, For he can view the pattern upon the upper side, While we must look from underneath and trust in him to guide.... Sometimes a strand of sorrow is added to his plan, and though it's difficult for us, We still must understand That it's he who fills the shuttle, It's he who knows what's best, So we much weave in patience And leave to him the rest.... Not till the loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the canvas And explain the reason why - The dark threads are as needed In the Weaver's skillful hand As the threads of gold and silver In the pattern he has planned. Thinking of You At this time of your loss... Cheryl Figaro

Andrea, Tanya & Nick, God saw he was getting tired And a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him And whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched him suffer And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Hector, you will be greatly missed. Love, Frank,Debbie Ginni,Kara & Deyna

The moment I think of our family, the first people that shine above all has always been Hector and Andrea. Hector, although you were not the loudest family member, your deep soft-spoken words captivated our hearts. Without loud spoken words, debates or lectures, you have gained the respect of everyone who was blessed to have known you. You never pushed to become center of attention, yet we all strived to become more like you. Your kind nature was never announced, yet you made us all feel protected. You have always displayed the strongest of strengths yet the gentlest kindness. You never bragged about your intelligence yet we all envied your wisdom. Your success was displayed in ever aspect of your life; your marriage, your children and your career yet you empathized with others as they struggled through difficult times in their lives without judgment and criticism. Hector, you have shown our family so much love. You leave an empty void in all of our hearts, which will continue to be filled with your memories and the warmth of your amazing presence and loving eyes. We Love You! Michael, Tracey & Kids

I just wished we could be there with you all. I just can't express in words how sorry I am. Hector has and will always have a special place in our hearts. Words could never give justice to describe the "MAN" that Hector was. In life there are certain people who truly touch our lives. Knowing them makes our lives special and when they are no longer with us, their memories makes us realize how lucky we are that God allowed us the honor of knowing them. I hope and pray that the memories you all shared with Hector bring you the comfort and love you need to help you get through these difficult times. Until we all meet again in Heaven and can celebrate together with Hector - May God Bless you all. With love always, Martha & Rob

I will miss having a drink with Hextor and will always have a drink in memory of Hextor. Hextor's spirt live's on and the memories of Hextor will never be forgotten.

It's truly unbelievable to know we will never see you or your warm & friendly attitude. One of our fondest memories is when you and Andria were in the play in High School and we were told that she was interested in a boy from the school.I looked up onto the stage and even though you two were far apart:I told Aunt Ern that you were the one.The two of you couldn't keep your eyes off each other.Your marriage and lives was an inspiration to everyone. You totally succeeded as parents as we follow the sucess in your children's lives. You will be missed by everyone you came in contact with and your entire family. We will never forget you and even though we are apart for awhile;We will always love and cherish your memory. The many people who were by your side at the hospital shows the love you garnered here on earth. May God bless and keep you till we meet again. Love Aunt Ern & Uncle Norm.
