I am both sorry and shocked to hear the bad news about Hilary.
Many newer members will not know him but he will be missed by those
who remember him. I am not sure if he was still a Strider or not

He was a good runner but a fine person as well and always friendly and
chatty whatever level of runner you were. He was a regular on the
Tuesday night runs about 18 years and I can still remember some of his
stories as he was getting changed ready to go out for the 10 mile
race, as it was in those days.

He had devoted his life to teaching and to be struck down at the early
age of 50 whilst doing that job is even more poignant.

I must admit I have not seen him for at least 10 years but I have nice
memories of him and feel so sorry for his family.
