JJ was a true community leader who cared about his city and the Youth. He arrived each and everyday instilling self esteem self worth love for one another education and a never give up attitude into the children he taught cherished mentored and nourished. This is an honor he truly deserves. He gave of himself without asking anything in return never seeking fame or fortune it was always about the youth. He gave so much to the city now it's time the city give back to his legacy​.

I never had the pleasure of meeting this young man. I did have the pleasure of hearing about his dedication to the youth of Newark. I heard of the hundreds of people who attended his service. I can't think of a better reason to dedicate the Center to him.

I as Hector's mother am in full agreement with this petition to honor his memory. My son was unselfish with his love and concern for the children of the City of Newark. He was a mentor, brother, and father figure to many. He was and is a hero to the lives he touched.

Hector was a fellow alumni of link community school and such a positive influence on children. He deserves to be honored in some way!
