I did not know uncle Hector very much but every summer in the 50s we used to go to Manitoba to visit the family and uncle Hector was a very very nice uncle to me and my brother Denis. We keep a very sweet memory of him. - Posted by: yolande montsion, daughter of oliver and marthe () on: Jan 14, 2012

Uncle Hector was a wondeful uncle to me and as a child my family and his family spent many summer vacations at West Hawk Lake together. I will miss him very much and I know he had a wonderful life and loved his family dearly. I am so thankful that I was able to see him and tell him I love him on his last day with us here on earth. Love from his niece Judy who he nicknamed Dudie' with his accent love and kisses - xo - Posted by: Judy Montsion Daniels (Family) on: May 28, 2010
