Having problems with message search?
Having been away, I've just picked up this sad news.
Hilary was indeed a fine person - one of the nicest you could hope to meet and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
I knew Hilary both through the club and through our shared friendship with Angie Hulley (Pain), who Hilary selflessly supported through her running career. He always had meaningful contributions to make to any conversation and his humour made light of less happy times.
A fine person indeed.

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.
