Sending all our love and condolences to the entire family! I never had the honor of meeting Mr. Hildreth, but I know he was a wonderful man because I know his wonderful daughter, Karen. The apple never falls far from the tree. Thank you, Mr. (And Mrs.) Hildreth for your brave service to this country!! You, sir, are a hero in my eyes! May you rest peacefully in the presence of our Lord and Savior!

Dr. Gladys Hildreth and Family,
Words cannot express how sad we are to learn of the passing of your husband and father. Dr. Hildreth was a wonderful person who was a blessing to many people. He was an "encourager" - a person who made one feel hopeful -- no matter the situation. He had a "heart" for people.
We will keep you in our prayers at this difficult time -- that our Lord will grant you His Peace, Comfort and Strength. He has not abandoned you. He loves you more than you can imagine. He is Able ---and Faithful.

My friend, although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that the family are very close in every thought and prayer. I admired his strength of character and his faith. I will continue to be inspired by the action he took and the things he said while he was alive. He will live in my memories. A good heart has stopped beating, a good soul rose to heaven and closer to God. He was the best husband, father, grandfather and friend. He never met a stranger. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Hildreth family. May God give you comfort and peace that you seek and may the soul of your loved one rest in peace. Gladys, Dewayne, Bertina, Kathleen and Karen, I will always love and keep you in my prayers.

Dr. Gladys J. Hildreth and family
We are saddened to learn of the death of your husband. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Separation from our loved one is never easy. Your will miss your husband greatly, but like Jesus when He heard of John's death, draw privately in a lonely place and draw upon his strength and the love of Christ who is ever present. Remember his good qualities and there were many and emulate his virtues. Take comfort in knowing that our earthly associations in life are temporary and broken only to be reunited later and that reunion is eternal
May God keep you.

I know Dr. Eddie Hildreth through Dr. Gladys Hildreth in 2002 when I was a doctorate student and both of them were working at the University of Kentucky. They treat me like their own child. I was a new driver then, Dr. Eddie Hildreth was willing to sit by me and coached me to drive around their neighborhood. During holidays, my son and I were invited to their house for family get-together. May Father Eddie Hildreth rest in peace, he will live in our hearts.

No obituary can adequately reflect the person that Dr. Eddie Hildreth was and the added value that he brought to Southern University and its surrounding communities. He was generous to a fault; cared about the University and the community; and spent numerous hours and his own resources to ensure that his beloved students were not denied exposure to the best learning opportunities. In retirement, he did not rest and never missed any chance to ensure that others were taken care of. Our neighborhood will miss his occasional visits. May Our Lord bring your family peace and your fond memories be a consoling presence in this difficult time.

My friend and colleague Eddie was a man who extended himself to get all the good available in the world out on the table. He then used it for himself, his family and friends. He then added to it and impacted his institutions and then for the good of all who crossed his path. I and my family benefited greatly from being part of his circle of life.
Thanks Eddie for being you and Gladys for enabling him.
