He was "Pete" when we were growing up. When my siblings and I visited "down south" during the summer months, he was a big part of the fun--the laughs and little adventures. Infinite blessings cuzin' Pete. Robyn

I can write a book on all the memories I have, of one of my favorite cousins and relatives period. When I pull into my driveway, I am reminded of the landscape my cousin did. When I pull into my garage, I am reminded of how he alone sheetrocked it all in a day. When I walk into my home, I am reminded of how he alone replaced the moisture barrier throughout the crawl space under, all in a day for a 3000 sq foot house. When I go up into my finished attic, I am reminded that the floor I'm walking on again was all laid by my cousin Hector. I can go on and on about memories and reminders, fun times, on almost any topic there is. All the laughs....eating crab legs at my mom house very late at night while she shared her poems, and me and him literally holding our stomachs as we rolled around in laughter on the floor hearing them (sorry mom). I saw him in his last week. I shook his hand. I told him I loved him. I left with my mom and my aunt Ethel. I have all the memories and you'll never be forgotten cuz. - the "Doc"

Rest in peace to my cousin and a person who is loved by many.

My cousin Pete has always been one of a kind, a rare find. Him spending some summers with family in the Northeast brought joy into our hearts. Pete's Aunt Rita (my mom) loved his since of humor. It was always fun and exciting when Pete was around. His jokes were endless and always welcoming. Cousin Pete may you rest in perfect Peace. May God grant my Aunt Erma, Uncle Jerry; Counsin Jeff, Clinton and Kim as well as Pete's children and grand children, aunts, cousins and all loved ones strength and healing. Jennelle & Family

I pray that you will find comfort through the scriptures and precious memories. Jehovah God promised us a hope of the resurrection through Christ Jesus our lord John 5:38&29

Sending Condolences To The Family And Close Friends, Sorry To Hear Of The Loss Of Your Loved One.

Sincerely,

Zenobia Elaine Holmes and Family, Bladensburg, Maryland

Uncle Hector, you will truly be missed. I adopted your funny laugh as a kid, then made it my own throughout the years. You were my fave. I remember thinking you were rich when I was a kid and you came to our home and littered the Christmas tree with money as ornaments. Thanks for a ton of great memories. No more suffering for you. Love you forever.

- Jeni
