I worked with Hector for a number of years at the National Arts Club on Gramercy Park. We worked together there as waiters as were often chosen to work early breakfasts together because we were the only two waiters the boss could trust to always show up on time. We had many early morning talks and he was a wonderful man. On this 10th Anniversary of 911, I just wanted the family to know that many, many people continue to think about Hector and a nice man her was.

I did not know Hector, but I saw a photo of Hector and message under the photo that said "Remember Me" on the plywood wall at the World Trade Center site, and I took a photo of it. That made me remember him whenever I think of or hear about 9/11. I listened for his name when the names were read. Now 9 years later I thought to Google his name. A brave man and heroic family. Bless you all.

I forgot to mention that my son-in-law, Jose Otero, working communications at the Pentgon that day, was on the other side of the building when the plane hit. My daughter was pregnant at the time. We had the scare of our lives that day. God bless all who died that day.

Sorry for your loss. May God keep him in his embrace.

Henry, it has been along time, my brother. I wish you and your family all the best. God bless.

It's a poem I wrote for Hector.

IT WAS THE 11th of Sept and I woke up full of life,
hoping I come back home to be with my children and my wife...
People I saved that I didn't even know,
but God took me with him, because it was my turn to go.
God started counting the dead, started counting one, two, and three.
I was one of the firefighters that died, one of 343...
So if you look up the sky, and you see a bright star,
I'm really close to you, and not very far.

Thinking about today (9/11/2010) and remembering all the fun times we had working together at NAC. You are a true hero and you will never be forgotten. I see the message from your kids and your family. You were truly blessed Hector. Thanks for always being such a good friend to me. RIP my brother.

Happy birthday, tio. The family and I miss you dearly. We pray every day for you, tio. It was a tragic for all of us, but we got past it like you would have wanted us to. But it's still hard for us when the day comes around again. R.I.P., Tio Hector.

Love always,
Your nephew,
Sean Jr.

It's nearly nine years later, and smiles at memories of you have almost replaced the ache—but not quite. Happy Birthday! You are missed so much.

Hector, you are in my prayers, and I think about you all the time. You will always be in my heart.

Hey Uncle Hec,

Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you. It gets harder and harder each year when September 11th comes around. We lost you so suddenly that we didn't know what to do. I remember crying in the back of our car because they claimed they had found you, and they didn't. They put us through a lot, but we got through it. I love you, uncle, and your godson (Jeyven) and the rest of your nephews and your niece (me) miss you dearly. You will always be remembered. R.I.P., Uncle Hector.

The Child Angel

Let your life come amongst them like a flame of light, my child,
unflickering and pure, and delight them into silence.

They are cruel in their greed and their envy,
their words are like hidden knives thirsting for blood.

Go and stand amidst their scowling hearts, my child,
and let your gentle eyes fall upon them like the
forgiving peace of the evening over the strife of the day.

Let them see your face, my child, and thus know the
meaning of all things, let them love you and love each other.

Come and take your seat in the bosom of the limitless, my child.
At sunrise open and raise your heart like a blossoming flower,
and at sunset bend your head and in silence
complete the worship of the day. And let them not
touch another soul.

Papi,

I miss you so much. I think about you each day that goes by. It feels like you just left yesterday. I always sit and cry, worrying why we had to say goodbye. You are my hero, my heart, my soul, my everything. Papi, I miss and love you so much!

Love always,
Ashley

“The Difference between a Hero and a Victim.”

A hero is one who walks into danger, and a victim is one who finds himself/herself in danger. Firefighter Hector Luis Tirado was a hero for all Americans, and he lives on in the memory of his family and friends who knew him and of those around this nation who never met him. May the earth rest lightly on his grave.

Hey, Hector,

Just wanted to come by your memorial and wish you a happy birthday on your special day.

Hector.... I may have not met him, but I've heard many good things from my father, Victor Rivera and Dj Tirado. May god rest both of their souls, and may god rest Hector's soul as well.

I worked with Hector many years ago delivering flyers in Parkchester. He was always a good man, always had a smile on his face, and always wanted to help people. I moved to Florida to chase my dream, and I see Hector was chasing his. I just recently found out he was lost on 9/11/01. My prayers are with his family. R.I.P., brother.
