He retired October 1, 1983, and moved into one of the new homes in the new Highlands Ranch area in 1986. I worked with Bill in the same office for 20+ years, since I was a Manager On Duty in the Maintenance Control Center and worked directly with all of the Operations Managers and Dispatchers. I saw Bill several times in March and April, when he said he was moving into a smaller place that offered amenities. Bill also mentioned that he had been diagnosed with Altzheimers in February. His former phone number has been disconnected, so I don't have any contact at this time. -Ken Schultz (7/4/06) Posted at the FL Club: Subject: FL Club Re: FL items for sale Bill Hilbert's retirement plaque sold for $261. -Jake Lamkins (7/10/06) Posted at the FL Club: Subject: Dispatcher Bill Hilbert Gone West exfal ERNIE VAN WINKLE wrote: Bill Hilbert a FAL dispatcher died 2-24-11..funeral will be at Horan & McConaty Family Chapel, 11150 E.
