Hillar, you were my life saver and you were always soft spoken to me and a wonderful man. I will miss your funny stories and your honesty and protective ways. You were a good husband and best friend to my mom. Your memory will live on through her. You were taken too soon... We love you

Hillar, It doesn't seem right to have to say goodbye to my younger cousin and lifelong friend, You fought a hard battle and were blessed with Maggie who loved, cared and fought for you. It gives me some solace in knowing what a strong and special love that you shared. Rest in peace Hillar - God has a special place for you in Heaven - with an accordion! Rest in Peace "Cuz"
