    A very humble , down to earth priest,. I remember Fr Hilary used to frequently visit St Dominic Church, Ashoknagar, to assist the Dominican Priests during my childhood days. It was a pleasure to listen to him. As somebody mentioned even though he retired early , he was very active till sometime back while he was at vianney home. May his soul R.I.P

    Fr. Hilary a beautiful person. At the old age of 87 he was celebrating mass in diocese local parishes was laudable. Very meticulous, soft spoken, well organised and always up to date with his work. Very kind to the poor and the needy, his community work with downtrodden cobblers and under privileged tribal community near opposite Ashoknagar Dominic Parish is guarded secret. May God reward him with eternal bliss.

    Fr. Hilary may have retired at 60 but was active till the end. I used to see him msintaining the garden of Vianney Home. He also offered his services to town parishes on request. He had a flair for Kannada language and could quote Sarvajnna with ease. In my chats with him, I found him sharp and forward thinking, always humane. May his soul rest in peace.
