Dear Banda family, Hector was such a fantastic guy and one of the all-time nice guys. He and I were classmates at USNA; he was a kind soul with a great sense of humor. I was so hoping to meet up with him on an upcoming trip to the UK and am overcome by such sadness over his passing. Please know that my heart is with you.

When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence, I often speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart.
Happy birthday, Hector! You are sorely missed but not forgotten.
