William Henry Hillman Jr.

Dearest Alice,
I am so sorry to have missed the memorial service for Bill. I was in New York City for Jessica's graduation from New York University. I think of you so very often and never seem to pick-up the phone and call. I looked in the phone book not long ago to see if you were still at the same address...and there you were! You are remarkable! I still miss you out at GVSU and talk about you often to every new student. I want you to know we are still using the money you and...

John, I know you will miss your father very much. He was a positive person and so easy to talk with when we were in school, he sometimes seemed like a second dad to me.

Dear Alice and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's death. I'm sorry more of us couldn't get up there for the funeral, but please know out thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know Jane has been doing family research and I went through a box that had been Marion's and found a few you may not have. Please contact me at [email protected] if you would like copies. My favorite is Uncle Bill as the Good Humor man. Love and prayers,
Jill, Jamie, Conor, Chris and Clark...

John,
It has been a pleasure caring for your mom and dad over the past several years. Your dedication to their well being and your attention to seeking the best care possible for them was evident and much appreciated by all of us. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

John,
So sorry to hear about your dad. My dad was also 96 when he passed away on April 4th. I did not see birthdate for your father and I'm curious what it is. Dad was born 8-5-12. What a hardworking generation that was and what they saw in their lifetimes was so amazing. May those memories of their stories stay with you. Take care. Kris, John & Family
