Not sure what to say?

All of us at Ally's House are saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Hillis but are so grateful to the Hillis family for their community contributions through their care and compassion. The Hillis family leaves a legacy.

I am greatly saddened to learn of Mr. Hillis' death. I was his secretary when he was Regional Manager of Motors Insurance Corporation (a division of General Motors Corporation) in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a wonderful man for whom to work. He was greatly respected. Both he and Nancy where such delightful people. My husband Manning and I will greatly miss receiving his annual Christmas card. My husband joins me in extending our deepest sympathy. His family is in our thoughts and prayers.

So sad to learn of Jimmy's passing today. Remember them well, my Mother, Dede Fetner and Aunt Nancy were close all their life as cousins that grew up in Charlotte. Did not know that she had passed away in 2012. Last of my Mother's family now, have not seen boys since I think my Dad's funeral in Elmwood in 1996, Bill Fetner. Jimmy and Nancy will always be remembered by my myself and my 3 siblings...

I always liked and respected Jim Hillis, as a man and as my uncle. I will miss him.

Miss you already, Jimbo! I know that you are being well taken care off up there. Love you and will miss you always!

We are greatly saddened to hear of Mr. Hilli's passing but also we know that he is now happily reunited with his beloved Nancy. We had the honor and pleasure of knowing him for many years both in a business and personal relationship. He was a kind and great man and we know that he will be missed by many.
