Uncle Hector,

I think of you all the time.  Please find my Letty, she left December 23, 2022.  She’s most likely with Daddy.  

I miss you my dear.

Loretta Young

I love you, Dad.  You were very instrumental in my life.  You showed me how to forgive, how to give, and how to have a sense of humor no matter the circumstances.  You will always be a happy thought in my mind.  Love you, Anne Stone

 First of all I want to extend my deepest condolences to the entire Arrendo family.    I think you for sharing Hector with us all. When I think of memories of Hector, there are just too many to write down. We lived on the same block as the pharmacy and my dad and Cecilo were good friends.     I remember watching Hector working alongside his dad.    I was born in 1951 and I am sure from the time I was a baby my mom and dad would  take me to the pharmacy. Some of my dearest memories are of walking into the pharmacy and smelling the ice cream fountain and the candies that were out in the open.   To this day that is one of my fondest memories of my childhood.   One day  when I was about three or four , I went home with a handful of candies that of course I did not pay for.    My dad walked me over to Hector and told me that I had to tell him what I had done. Of course as a child having to tell an adult that she stole something was the worst punishment. Yet when I told Hector,  he just hugged me and told me never to take anything but always ask.    This was a great lesson that I have never forgotten and truly impacted me.   As I grew up, I never forgot about him and would make it a point of visiting whenever I was in the neighborhood or even making a trip to visit him.    He  always made time for me no matter how busy he was.    We moved to Olympia,  Washington seven years ago and I would still make the trek to go see him.   He was a man of honor, integrity and a deep love for humanity. He loved his family. Men like Hector are few and far between. May God bless him in heaven and give him his just reward. I know God said Hector -  job well done when he met him at the gates of Heaven.     Thank you Hector for being a major piece to my hearts puzzle. 

Dear Arredondo Family,

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Hector. I remember him dearly as he helped Tio Chilo at the San Pedro Pharmacy on Alameda Street. His fun-loving personality and forever smile warmed my heart as a child visiting my grandmother, Mama China, next door.

May God and his angels welcome him to his final resting place and may you always cherish those beautiful memories of Uncle Hector the rest of your lives.

Blessings,

Renee Quiroz Rios ODonnell

My Dearest Dad,
My heart breaks to know that I will not be able to call you on Tuesday mornings.  You have been such a blessing to me, Dan, Mindi and Analisse.  We will miss our conversations, your kind words of encouragement, friendship, and love.  It was wonderful to grow our friendship over the years and include into our family Eva, Adrian, and Chris.  We were blessed to watch your family grow as a part of our own.  May God bless you as you have blessed me and others, may he provide a cherished place for you to spread your joy further.  
With lots of love, Anne, Dan, Mindi and Analisse Stone
