To the family, many, many friends, and fans of this great person who played an outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1971. Mr. Hector Lopez was the first black manager in Triple-A baseball when he became manager of the Buffalo Bisons in 1969. He had a wonderful career in baseball. May you find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together with Mr. Hector Lopez. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of Mr. Hector Lopez.

I am so sorry about the loss of Hector. The Lopez family has my deepest condolences and I pray that you will be surrounded continuously with love and support. As you go through this difficult time, may Almighty God give you “everlasting comfort” (2 Thess. 2:16).

Paved the way for a lot of other minorities in professional sports top positions especially Frank Robinson in 1974.
