Tribute To Our Friend Hector Ruiz

Shining Star

The angels looked down from heaven one night.


They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining star.

They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven,
Forever to remain.

Look down on us from heaven.
Keep us free from hurt and pain.
You'll always be within our hearts
Until we meet again.

Hector was forever in The Moment. I remember him breaking in a new glove in 2019, with the Reds I think. That basket was blue and so big it made Hector look smaller. One game he was accused of playing too shallow, over the line. He yelled back explaining, "It was my glove!" I'll never forget that, or him.

Hector and I were friends since we were in our forties.

He was always a gentleman and I loved his wonderful sense of humor. We shared jokes and funny anecdotes many times. He always had a kind word for all.” Hey watch out for a viscous line drive” ( Out private joke) May you Rest In Peace.

I’ve known Hector for years going way back to the days when we were co workers at the post office. He was a great friend and team mate at Dover. He always had a smile and encouraging word for all. He will be sorely missed. May he Rest In Peace.

More than a team mate we always saw Hector as a very close friend. We will miss him dearly. He was always joking and laughing and never heard any negative comments about the games and/or members of the teams playing with. Rest in peace Hector Ruiz. We will meet again.

Too bad to hear about his passing. Hector was the kind of guy who always kept a friendly smile either playing with you or against you. Rest in Peace.

Estrella Brillante

Los ángeles miraron hacia abajo desde el cielo una noche.

Buscaron kilómetros de distancia, Y en lo profundo de la distancia Podían ver una estrella brillante.

Ellos sabían que muy instante Que la estrella era suya para ganar, Así que te llevaron al cielo, Para siempre.

Míranos desde el cielo. Manténganos libres de dolor y dolor. Siempre estarás dentro de nuestros corazones Hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar.
