My thoughts and prayers go out to the Hileman family. Robert and I were classmates in elementary school. I lived at the end of the road east of your family property. Even though it has been nearly 50 years since I have lived in Kenosha County, I still think about your family periodically and remember fondly playing summer baseball games at the back of your property. May you find comfort in your memories and may God give you strength in the days, weeks and years ahead.

My Condolences go out to my Aunts and Uncle at a time like this. My Father was the oldest brother so I grew up with my Aunts and Uncles we were like brothers and sisters to my brothers and I. I will have very fond memories of my childhood with Robert in them as I was like the annoying little sister that know body wanted around sometime but Robert would always find time to play with us kids I also remember Roberts great fondness for chocolate especially my mother's homemade chocolate pies. And my brother will always remember the fishing trips that my grandfather and Robert used to take together. I am very sadden by the loss of my uncle Robert and will miss him alot.
