Thanks for being patient gents. There are a lot of good ideas for sympathy, memories and feelings we want to share with Brooke and she appreciates the hell out of it i assure you.
She has come to the conclusion that it's easiest on her to just have text messages.

Please do not send flowers or cards. A text is preferred. Let me know if you want to talk but no pressure at all. If you feel moved to do something, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to PBS in memory of Hector Meletich. My email is hectorbrooke@yahoo.com if that is needed

I'd like to say Hector was a great friend to me. He was always quick witted and a smooth South FL New Yorican. And did i mention soul, he had a lot and a fine one at that. If you knew his amazing mom you would also credit her with his suave demeanor.
We stayed in touch and often exchanged chuckles, views and kept eachother up to date on our exploits and subjects such as whats happening with the boys from Co.C. My most lasting memory is of his making an introduction to my dear friend Brooke who completed his life and his world.
With loss and love, Hector will be well kept by those who knew him.
Yours, GuyOctober 15, 2025
