I meet Jim through dating his daughter Anita. He was a good man, a concerned father and a good friend. I shared several good times with him, he had a exceptional green thumb one of the best gardens around. I learned one thing from him no matter how bad a situation is always show that person you care, you may not agree but give them your all. RIP Jim 
Your friend Dave Colombo

Condolences from Craig & Julie Anderson 
Last time I talked with Jim he and his wife stopped by and stayed at our home in Saugatuck 5 plus years ago. Prior to that I had the opportunity to speak with Jim, Bob and Bev at my dads, funeral Carl Anderson in 2009.
Jim was always a great story teller and I always enjoyed  my time spent with him.

My name is John Rozanski, I worked with JIM at Chrysler. I first hired in there in 1995 and Jim took me under his wing very early. Knowing I was new to the AUTO plant. He helped me out in every way he could. Through the years until he retired him, and I remained very close. he was at my daughters christening and my wife and I brought him into our family. I recently asked somebody at Chrysler if they had heard much of JIM. I lost track of him a little bit after he retired. He has remained in my thoughts , memories and will always be there . I’m sure he is missed by his family and loved ones. He will surely be missed by myself and my family too. Rest in peace JIM God bless you and your entire family..

Love John

On behalf of the Capuchin brothers I offer my deepest sympathies on the passing of James. It is truly humbling to receive memorial donations in honor of his life. Please be assured of the brother's prayers for the entire Hillock family during this great time of grief. May perpetual light shine upon James.

We were so sorry to hear of your father's passing.  Your Dad and Mom, Anna, were like a second set of parents to my daughters Becky and Sara Holewinski.  I can still see Anita and Sara walking down the sidewalk doing the theme to LAVERN and SHIRLEY.  They had all the moves down pat!  I remember your dad and his sense of humor, such a kind man and your mom was such a talented cermaic crafter.  I will always remember the kindness they showed to my family and hope there are so many good memories of them to give you all comfort.

Loving thoughts to all,

Darrell and Ellen Mckee
