We Will Never Forget Hector Tamayo

Let's never forget all those who died on 9-11-01. Among them was Hector Tamayo, age 51. He was a resident of New York, N.Y. (USA) who was killed in the World Trade Center on that day.

His NY Times obituary said that:

Hector Tamayo loved to sing: Engelbert Humperdinck and Elton John, country music and campfire favorites, especially the one that begins, "Today, while the blossom still clings to the vine . . ."

At home in Holliswood, Queens, he had a karaoke machine with thousands of songs. "He had a lot of friends, most of them are relatives, and on Friday nights and Saturday nights and sometimes weeknights they would drink together and sing together," said his sister-in-law, Sylvia Mercene.

Many of those relatives lived with Mr. Tamayo at some point, because he opened his house to family and friends when they came to the United States from the Aklan province in the Philippines, as he had in 1980. "As a joke we call his house the Ellis Island," Ms. Mercene said. Five of his six siblings are now in the United States, as are his wife, Evelyn, and their two children, Ian and Pamela.

A civil engineer, Mr. Tamayo, 51, was working in 2 World Trade Center on Sept. 11.

His family remembers him as a happy person who loved jokes, his family and, of course, to sing: "A million tomorrows will all pass away/Ere I forget all the joys that were mine today."

We send our prayers to Hector's wife, children, siblings, and many friends--losing a loved one never gets easier. Always hold your memories of Hector close in your heart.

I signed up for the 2996 Tribute Project honoring the 9/11 victims and was the 1286th blogger to do so.

Today I am honored to be posting about Hector Tamayo's all too-short, but powerful life, and will continue to honor Hector, on this anniversary every year, and all who lost their lives 12 years ago--leaving their loved ones behind all too soon.

Godspeed, Hector, you will always be remembered with love and thanksgiving...and with a smile while thinking of the joy you brought to those who knew you.  Our prayers and best wishes are with your family always.

Seven Lies In Under Two Minutes

Let's play this before his big speech with his big "investment" plan to fix all the trouble he's cause so far. And then let's play it again after--so we are reminded about his record of success or lack thereof.

Sarah Palin Inspiring America With Truth & Her Plan To Fix US

Sarah Palin in Iowa explaining how to set this President and his administration's crony capitalism and his misguided selfish priorities straight. She also takes on career politicians. Ain't nobody in DC that will like this speech and there is no one outside of it that will not love it! Run, Sarah, run!
