He is survived by sisters, Joan, Linda, Marilyn, Janice and brothers Philip and Paul, along with sister in laws, Vera, Joanne, and Olivia, and Elaine. He will be lovingly remembered by all including his many nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends that he considered family.

Dear Deb and Kyle, I'm so very sorry to hear of Hilton's passing. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to say goodbye. Kyle, although I haven't seen you since you were a child I know you must be a very special person like your dad. He always had a warm smile and a peaceful spirit. To the Ruggles family, please accept my condolences. Sincerely James Todd Jackson

Hilton I know you are loved where ever you may be. I feel you with us daily and still miss your presence and beautiful smile:)

What shall I say. It's been over a month since you left us for others in the other world. Still weeping as I think of having to go on without you. Your (what I always said) voice should have and could have been famous. I loved it, and you. Peace my brother. Enjoy your rewards. Sister Joan

Hilton was my best friend and a devoted father to our son Kyle. I know he is being embraced and loved wherever he is, and I miss him deeply.

Dear Kyle, Years ago your father and I went to see Leon Thomas at Place des Arts. He was openning for B.B. King. The song that sears through my memory is "Song for my Father." Kyle, that is your song for your Dad. I wish your sorrow wasn't so great but the greater the love, the greater the pain. I had no idea he was ill and the pain of never having the chance to say goodby is overwhelming. Nevertheless, he is with you with every breath you take. It isn't always for us to understand, just for us to love purely, sincerely. Courage and blessings to you.

Dear Kyle, What a wonderful blessing to have had a father who loved you so much. You had the best of everything he was. Kind, joyful and with his sweet, sweet smile.
