Pre- deceased by his wife Nance in 1995, survived by his brother Norman, as well as the Boswell family, extended family, & many dear friends. Hilt served in the Canadian Armed Forces (Army) during World War II. Born in Aberdeen, Sask., he worked & lived many years in the City of Surrey, retiring to White Rock, & eventually settling in Merritt.
