Michael A. Hillier

Just saw this obit...so sorry that smile is gone from our lives. Have known him since he started above a boat sales store....always glad to see each other over the years...I have many Mikey memories....see ya on the surface buddy.

Big was the nicest man I have ever come across in my lifetime. I enjoyed the many years of being around him, his attitude was contagious.

Mike Before Lynnhaven you enticed me I to working at Divers World in Silverspring, Md. All of a sudden I was into the dive industry. Loved every minute. We share many a good times and dives together. You always had a smile and a big laugh at whatever was going on. Fair winds my friend.

Mike was a good friend of my husband at Divers World in Silver Spring,Md. I was being checked out at Haymarket Quarry in 1981 and Mike ended up being my instructor. Since there was ice on the dock Mike did not make us takes our masks off underwater. Thanks Mike, I will never forget that or the hot chocolate we poured down wetsuits to warm up. Wishing you the best dives ever.

I loved your dad so much, I met him when I walked into the lynnhaven dive shop on day to talk about possibly learning how to dive..he was always nice to me and helped me get certified and get all the gear..scubapro all the way with jet fins and framless mask and all..I always looked up to him and he will be dearly missed! Love you big Mike, see you on the other side!

Rest easy my friend. The class of '66 is gathering around you and your family with our thoughts and prayers. Peace brother.
