To Alan’s family:
Alan was a sweetheart of a man. Always had a smile on his face. May he rest in peace. It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter

Condolence from Steve St. Pierre on March 9th, 2019 4:08 PM

On behalf of Laurie’s father; Steve St. Pierre

Dear Laurie,

I am saddened by your news. Many are affected by the loss
of your grandpa.

Your Grandpa Hill blessed with many great qualities; not the
least of which, an abundance of common sense and strong
support of family.

For the short time as my father-in-law, he was a mentor with
sage guidance. I owe my start in aviation in large part to his
support and encouragement, for which I am forever grateful.

The impact on my life just one example of many who have been
affected during your Grandpa Hill’s time on earth… his positive
spirit/influence, like pebble impacting pond surface, continues
across time/space.

Love and Hugs…

Your dad

Condolence from Lorraine Alexander on March 9th, 2019 4:10 PM
