He became a business man with his first dump truck in 1964. Later in 1972, he started a family business known as Hillier’s Golden Eagle with a garage and oil tanker which became Hillier’s Ultramar in 2008. Everyone was his friend and he was always there to lend a helping hand and provide his expertise. He was a great community supporter. He never truly retired from running errands and getting slabs from Main Brook. His 1985 diesel truck was well known and recognized with slabs piled high, truck dragging the ground and a big smile. He was in his glee. A wonderful, caring, compassionate man who wore many “hats” to all those who called him dad, ole’ man, pop, pop pop, Al and friend. We love you!
