Henry Hilliard ’43

Hank died Feb. 1, 2014, in Cumberland Foreside, Maine.

He prepared for Princeton at St. Paul’s School in Concord, N.H. He had a lifelong attachment to St. Paul’s, which he felt gave him excellent guidance for life. At St. Paul’s, he was on the hockey and crew teams. At Princeton, he majored in psychology and rowed on the 150-pound crew. He was also a member of the gym team, JV crew, Triangle Club, Whig-Clio, and Madison Debating Society.

Hank’s Army service included time with the Corps of Engineers in Europe.

Returning to civilian life, Hank took a job with Time magazine, where he met his future wife, Anne. They married in 1946 and moved to his hometown of Pittsburgh, where Hank worked as a trust officer in Mellon Bank.

After several years, Hank’s love of the sea drove him to the coast of Maine with his family. There, he worked for the First National Bank of Commerce in Portland and served as president of the Portland Museum of Art.

In 1962, Hank moved to Concord, Mass., where he worked for Dynamics Research Corp. before retiring back to Maine in 1986. He loved sailing his Pacific Seacraft and completed a goal to cruise from the St. Lawrence Seaway down the Eastern Seaboard, across the Chesapeake, and on to the Carolinas.
