Condolence From: Karen & Richard Olsen
Condolence: Richard and I were so sorry to hear of John's death. I worked with John at Sentry Insurance in HR for several years and when I was downsized at a time when I was not vested for retirement, he kept up my spirits and worked behind the scenes to keep me at Sentry. I will always be grateful for this. I cannot ever remember seeing John without a smile on his face and a cheerful attitude. So it does not surprise me that he was a valued member of his community in Virginia. My sincere condolences to John's family.

Condolence: So sorry to hear this about Mr. Hillert. He was a very nice and sweet man, always kept a beautiful smile on his face.He always spoke no matter where you were at, he was a good neighbor. I use to see him riding his bike and I told him I wish I could pump a bike again he just laughed and told me you can do it. We will keep your family in our Prayers!

Condolence: If I opened one of the dictionaries the Optimist gives away ever year to 3rd graders and looked up the words Optimistic, Smile, and pure kindness, I know I would see John's smiling eye. As un optimistic I could be in the morning John was pure optimism. He made a difference. And he will be missed.
