Wow! I have been offline for most of the week with computer problems. I fixed it all up and decided to see what I missed here over the last week. CLUNK! (The sound of my jaw hitting the floor). OMG, how sudden and how very sad! I truly am in shock...
Living in Toronto as well our paths could have and probably should have crossed. I had gone to the odd Route 66 Cruise at Eglinton and may have just missed meeting him. I would have loved to see his 454 Laurentian in person. I know we could have talked about 1970 Pontiacs until the sun went down and came back up again. Sadly I will never get the chance.
The picture below (courtesy of 427Carl) appears to have been taken at the Route 66 Cruise on Eglinton & Pharmacy. I notice they are gathered in front of Glens 67 Beaumont Sport Deluxe (Glen is in the white T-shirt; I was at his house last week picking up Beaumont parts in exchange for a case of beer).
I was at Broadview and Danforth yesterday but I was totally unaware of Hillars passing. Had I known I would have certainly paid my respects...
Too young, too young... Godspeed, friend!
My condolences to his family and his friends

Cameron, Hillar often said to me we are going to have to look up CndGMfan this summer. He had a hunch you lived near us. You are indeed correct, Hillar on the left, Darryl (65camino) Glenn and me (73SC) at Route 66. Lets' make sure we connect this cruise season!
