Mr. Sylvia,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USMC. The History and accomplishments made by you and your fellow Marines back then in the Old Corps are what all us Marines who followed in your footsteps have always always tried to live up to. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
Semper Fi Devil Dog!

I drove Hector to some of his appointments in Weymouth. He so enjoyed sharing stories about his earlier years and how much he loved his family. I use several his recipies he printed for anyone who showed an interest.
