I have been searching for you for the last 15 years and wondering where you were and how you were doing. Today Oct 19 I discovered you had passed away. I am in shock and disbelief. It was an Honor serving with you in the US NAVY. We had a lot of good times and laughs while were stationed on the USS ASHLAND. You were one of my closest friends. Hand Salute and Rest In Peace Hillard.
