Richard Hiller Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A lifelong member of Temple Israel congregation, Richard was known to occupy front seats at Friday night services along with his wife. They often attended Torah study on Saturdays and many other frequent activities of the congregation.
Richard's adult life revolved around his family. He was an ever-faithful husband that was dedicated to the care of his wife. He always ensured her needs were taken care of before his own. Susan's activities were also Richard's and he attended creative writing workshops with her among many other activities.
He was heavily involved in the actives of his sons which started with Scouting, continuing his involvement in Troop 25 and the Chickasaw Council well after they both earned the rank of Eagle Scout and aged out of scouts. He was the epitome of a "Band Dad," building things for the band program at Overton HS and faithfully attending concerts and marching contests. When Nathan found a passion for magic, Richard rekindled his enthusiasm too. He joined the International Brotherhood of Magicians (Ring 16) and was active with in-person and virtual meetings locally and nationally. He was also a dedicated member of the Mid South Woodturner's Guild.
Funeral services will be held at 3pm on Monday, March 10 at the Temple Israel Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation in Richard's name to the Southern Poverty Law Center or another organization that fights for civil rights.
