Nigel John HILLIER (13 Jun 1953 - 2 Sep 2019)

I first met Nigel in 1966 I think. We spent time in each other’s company at the beginning and end of every day, 6 days a week travelling to and from school. I remember a kind face with a ready smile who enjoyed life. I left Hardye’s in 1969 and it wasn’t until 2 months ago that we met up again. Of all of us I think Nigel had changed the least and I certainly would have recognised him if we’d met in the street. Towards the end of the evening of our reunion we spent an hour together chatting catching up and finding out we had a lot in common. It was a pleasure to meet him again. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. The world was a richer place for his presence. Once again, my condolences.

One of my oldest dearest friends, wonderful memories made at school, by the sea, at Icen Road and Bedford House in Weymouth I always considered Nigel to be a brother and Tim and I were so lucky to have seen him in Spain just two days before he died. Memories never die. Condolences to the family and all affected by the loss of Nigel. Much love Hilary and Tim x

My son Keith gave me the message. It came as a shock not having seen Nigel for several years. He was chair of Branch FSB when I was secretary, I never knew he was Diabetic as I am now at 74 with type two.
God Bless.

I had known Nigel since we were 11 years old & we have maintained our friendship ever since despite my living in Australia for many years. I was fortunate to have had dinner with Nigel twice during my recent trip home to England. He was a good friend & I shall miss him deeply

We were I think 15 when Nigel was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Despite this he lived his life to the full & was a wonderful friend.

I remember when Nigel was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, I think we were about 15. I don't think we understood the implications of this for Nigel but he lived his life to the very full despite it.
A wonderful Friend
