He dearly loved his wife, Charmaine, who was his rock throughout their 50 years of marriage. He adored his 3 children and was a wonderful father to Shawn (Melissa), Ian (Bekki), and Jessica. Hilaire was a proud Grandpa to Lia, Henley, Eveley, and Kai and he fought for more time to see his precious grandchildren grow up.
