He was my teacher each of my four years at CMU and we stayed in touch over the years after I left Pittsburgh. Hilary was always so generous of his time and talent, always interested in the lives of his students, forgiving and pushing simultaneously. The photograph of the dog on the street in your banner reminds me very much of one of Hilary’s photographs — or perhaps it was yours all along and I didn’t know it. Thank you to you and your sisters for sharing Hilary with so many students over the years. Much peace and love to you. w.

my sincerest condolences for the loss of your father. Your “In Memoriam” text is rarely moving and beautiful. Very few texts can move me to tears nowadays but reading the beautiful goodbye to your father I read it progressively through tears that flooded my eyes. What a lovely text! What a great piece of writing. Powerful, genuine emotion propping it up making it the unshakable monument you have built for your dad. He sounds like a wonderful man and you have paid him here a magnificent tribute. God bless you, my dearest John. As we say in Greece: “May you live to remember him!” By writing about him you also make him immortal. Thank you for sharing these feelings with us.

With love always,
Euphrosyne xxx

Well done, John.
