On behalf of Laurie’s father; Steve St. Pierre
Dear Laurie,
I am saddened by your news. Many are affected by the loss
of your grandpa.
Your Grandpa Hill blessed with many great qualities; not the
least of which, an abundance of common sense and strong
support of family.
For the short time as my father-in-law, he was a mentor with
sage guidance. I owe my start in aviation in large part to his
support and encouragement, for which I am forever grateful.
The impact on my life just one example of many who have been
affected during your Grandpa Hill’s time on earth… his positive
spirit/influence, like pebble impacting pond surface, continues
across time/space.
Love and Hugs…
Your dad
