Stanley Hillier Obituary
When god calls home a loved one the pain is hard to bear but angels they are needed in heaven everywhere but he took a special angel to sit there by his side one to trust and cherish, to talk to and confide for angels are a blessing in gods loving, caring hands although we will always miss you its he who understands. We know you're here beside us we will never feel alone with an angel now to guide us since the good lord took you home.
Rest in peace dear son, brother, uncle and friend. We will miss you always and within our hearts you will remain forever.

We were very sorry to hear of Stanley's passing. We so enjoyed Stanley's company at gatherings at our friend Bill Brokenshire's home. We will remember Stanley for his kindness and compassion but also for his zest for life and his absolutely marvellous sense of humour. Debbie Dearlove and David Mason

Because of our brother Jim there never seemed to be a time when Stan was not a part of our lives. Stan and Jim's friendship went back some 40 years from their early times here in St John's to the last decades there in Toronto. This is a terrible loss to each of you and I am so glad that Jim is able to be there now and you have all most graciously made him a part of these good-byes to your brother.
We will always be greatful for Stan's place in Jims life. In 2007 when Jim suffered a stroke it was Stan who stood by him trying his best to help Jim continue his life in Toronto and it was at Stan's urging as he saw that Jims life would not be the same and that as Jims family we needed to take steps to get our brother moved home. But their friendship simply continued in a different way; Stan was always there with a long phone call, visits to Jim here in St John's and every summer Stan made it possible for Jim to spend a couple of weeks in Toronto to ensure that my brother still had a connection to the people and places that had made up his life for so long.
Such was the nature of their friendship that whether weeks or months went by they just picked up where they left of. They laughed a lot many times at the things they got up to in their 20's and in later years the reminiscing about the things life had tossed their way as they went through their 40's and 50s'.They both loved cats and it was not unusual when I was visiting Jim to find Stan's cat moved in while Stan was visiting Grand Bank.or Jim's cat moved in with Stan .
I spoke with Stan on Christmas Eve and although I could sense his concern for his own health he still made time to worry about how Jim was really doing with a cold looming NFLD winter and he was anxious to tell Jim that he would be down in the Spring and yes surely I would be putting on another feed of fish and brewis .
Stan was funny and chatty and kind and always there with an opinion on some political or social event. He seemed to have the ability to get along with everyone and could always find common ground with people. I think over the years we Jim's family have all met and gotten to know Stan .Why our Mom even shared a bingo game with him there in Toronto in the 90's and in the 80s he and Jim often took the bus to Hamilton to visit our Grandmother. Stan was interested in everything and everyone's story and when you were being chatted up by Stan you felt you were the most important thing he was doing.
This is all so sad for you his family whom he was always so very proud of. So many stories Jim would hear over the years of your lives. Be gentle with each other as you adjust to life without your Stanley. Please know as well that Stan made so many lives better because of his presence and for sure my brother Jim has always felt blessed because your brother Stan was a big part of his life for so vey long. He will be missed so much.
