You are in my thoughts and prayers. I first met Hilton at Smith Chevrolet when I went to work there right out of high school in 1968. He was so friendly and helpful. I have some special memories of him. God Bless you..

Darlene and family, we're so sad to hear of Hilton's passing. No one knows better than his own family and you what a good man he was and how giving he was to others. May God touch and comfort you and your family with all the assurance of the big reunion ahead to be reunited again with your loved one.
