Corey Hilber

To Corey's Family and Friends-

Corey and I worked together at the Oak Park Farmers' Market last season. I had no idea about Corey's death until yesterday when I googled his name. I was and am so shocked and saddened.

I didn't know Corey for very long, but one probably didn't have to know him very long to know that he was such a caring and downright good person. We enjoyed talking about gardening and music. I remember him playing Hank Williams on his car stereo. He always...

To the family of Corey,

I just learned today of Corey's passing and I am saddened and shocked. I had the great pleasure of working with Corey last summer at the Oak Park Farmers Market and he was simply delightful. He had such a great sense of humor and a calming spirit which made our work experience so enjoyable. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the family of Corey,
I know this is very late, but I was and still am at a loss for words. Those who knew Corey said some very beautiful things and wonderful stories that I whatever I may say could not ever come even close to comparing to. Just know my thoughts and prayers were and still are with all of you. May time heal your hearts. God Bless.

To Donna, James, Mike, Jake, Elaine & Janet: I am so very sorry for the tremendous loss you are suffering. I remember Corey more as a little boy at my aunt Elaine (his Grandmother's) house with his brothers. I regret not having gotten to know him better as an adult, as it does sound like he became a wonderful, caring, and fun loving person with many friends. I believe heaven has gained another angel!

I read this as a news story because Corey and I share a common surname and heritage in the Hilber families of Wisconsin. Didn't know Corey, but his life story touched me deeply. I am just a little and unrighteously proud and shamed to have to say I did not know thee and am the poorer for it. Richard J. Hilber, Saint Paul, MN

The first time I met Corey, he was dancing in my living room. He was a great kind-hearted person, and someone I really admired. I will miss him.

I worked with Corey in Chicago for a few short months. He had bright look on life, always happy, smiling and laughing. I'm saddened by lost that his family had to experience and pray for strength and send my condolences to his family in this tragic loss!

Corey's giggle was contagious. He ALWAYS had some funny story, come-back or one-liner that made you laugh.

I had the opportunity to work with Corey early this year for a few short months. He was such a happy and nice guy and it always brightened my day if I was able to work with him. I remember being so impressed with listening to him describe his work in the Peace Corps. I was so sad to hear this news. He was a great guy. He will be missed.

My thoughts are with the Hilber family during this difficult time.
