Family Heritage

The closeness in the Hillyard family extends back to the early years of N.S. Hillyard’s life. His early family years with seven siblings instilled a close relationship for N.S. and Nona’s children— Everett, Marie, Marvin, Walter and Robert. The family was an integral part of the business as it started to grow, working the offices at an early age and becoming involved later as company executives. The legacy of the early Hillyard family ties carries on today with reunions and picnics as a fifth generation of Hillyard’s begins assisting in guiding the company. Like the early years, “family” continues to extend its definition to include the dedicated Hillyard employees.
