I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing Joyce. During all the years I knew him he was such a kind, caring and MAN. He was always a great contractor. I will never forget the addition he and Eddie put on our house on Smithfield. A beautiful job well done. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Dorrie Kitchen (Schweitzer) (Friend) on: Nov 03, 2015

Grandpa Hilderman was an amazing fun and loving man. I was privileged to have known him through his beautiful granddaughter Lindsay. He always treated us like family which meant a lot. I am happy that my own daughter Ashtyn was able to meet him this past summer and experience the love that he had to give. My condolences go out to all my "family" at this time. Big hugs to you grandma. Xoxox - Posted by: Darcey and Robin Sharp (Frienss) on: Nov 01, 2015

We were saddened to hear about Robert. We are reminded of our families at Christ Lutheran Church and years past of "hanging out". To Joyce, we are so sorry for your loss. To Diane, Lori and Roy, your father will always remain in your heart. We know the grandchildren and great-grandchildren have their own memories, they too will cherish. We want you to know our thoughts are with you and we send our deepest sympathy. The Monk family - Posted by: Lisa Brooks and Anne Monk (Friends) on: Oct 31, 2015
