C elebrating a L ifeW ell Lived

Thomas Frank HillierSeptember 1, 1944 – May 2, 2016

“Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthof sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flungMy eager craft through footless halls of air...

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blueI’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.

Where never lark, or even eagle flew —And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,– Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.” ~John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

“That man is successful who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has

gained the respect of men and the love of children; who looks for the best in others and

gives the best he has.”

“I’ll be seeing you...”
