Hil was an amazing individual, probably the most unpretentious person I've ever encountered, and a loving husband to Alice. He exemplified all the qualities of my definition of a "gentleman." Hil was an energetic and strong individual who prided himself in giving a crushing handshake, as a result of his many years of working with his hands in the upholstery business. I always enjoyed visiting with Hil on the dock and hearing his stories of the war and how he brought his boat Fryslan from Holland. Hil always had a glint in his eyes attesting to his living life to the fullest. I can honestly say he was an outstanding friend and member of the yachting community at Bear Lake and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Hil and Alice were an institution at Bear Lake and were members of the Bear Lake Yacht Club from its inception in 1971. Hil and Alice were proud owners of their boat, Fryslan, and enjoyed sailing together. Hil, loved sharing stories about how they got through the war & came to Utah. He brought more than one sailboat to the US from Holland & one of them came "fully stocked" with Heineken beer. After Alice's passing, Hil continued to spend his summer's sailing on Bear Lake. He enjoyed the parties and activities that the yacht club provided, as well as the many lifelong friends. Hil supported the club, and as a member, hardly ever missed a party or dinner. His family was so supportive and were Hil's chaperones later in life. Even though age was advancing for Hill, he was fit, enjoyed working out and staying active, but eventually, life takes over and Hill had to stop sailing but still managed to come to some of our events. Hil, you were loved and will be missed. "May you have fair winds and following seas".
