Hilton, you are a father figure for me and my family.I miss you already...particulary will miss seeing you by your car after the games, listening to the play by play radio review. And I know you and Jim are madly discussing "What is going on with the team?"..
love you

Hello my lovely California family! I am so proud that I got to know and spend time with Uncle Hilton despite the distance. He always made me feel special and I still have a card he wrote calling me his "sweet Mississippi girl" . I wish I could be there at this time with you, but know you are all in my heart and prayers ! I would love to know what he and everyone in Heaven are talking about :). But I love you all!

Dear Helen & Family,

I first met Hilton thru his brother Marshall who was my best friend for years. Hilton was a lot like Marsh in that they were both honest, truthful and honorable men. I am proud to have been Hilton's friend and collegue for many, many years. He was also a very religious person who believed that by doing good in his life he would be rewarded by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I know in my heart that Hilton is with Jesus as we speak. Love and God's Blessing on Helen and her family during this time of their bereavement.

God be with you all.
