My thoughts & prayers go out to the Holguin family. I met Hector on my first day at the jeep plant in 1975. He was hanging Rear Doors on the old J Wagoneer. From that day forwards we were friends throughout our Jeep careers, every time I would cross paths with him, he always had a smile on his face and displayed that positive attitude of his. You will always be my friend Hector. Until We Meet Again !!!
