Gary Bert HILGEMAN

I was just sharing with a Duke Energy trouble responder yesterday how much Gary influenced me and changed my life just as I have done so many times. I hope he looked down on me and smiled. Loved that man.

I miss this man who changed my life almost monthly. I still share how he changed me for the better and allowed me to eventually be a successful engineering, father, husband, and man.

Dear Grandpa,
I'm going to miss you so much... I can't believe you're gone, you are so important to me...I hope you can forgive me for being asleep while you passed... It meant a lot to me when I held your hand in your final days and you held it back... when I would talk you would squeeze my hand because I'm sure you knew it was me... I have no clue what I am going to do with out you... I hope you are having fun up in that big train station in the sky and you're playing football again.

Patty, sorry to hear about Gary's passing. We have fond memories of the early days when we got together. Our prayers go out to you and your family.

Dear Patty,
Uncle Jack and I are so sorry to hear about Gary. I know it has been a long journey for him, and now there is peace. He was a fine man......good husband and father. Hope you stay in touch with us.
Love, Aunt Joan

I have always thought that he was a great guy. AS the new guy in the neighborhood Gary was one of the first to be a friend. And though I haven't been back to Mt Healthy much since Graduation I have always remembered Gary. My condolences to his family and I will be praying for all of you in this time of grief.
