Daniel G. Hillard

Daniel G. Hillard, 59, of 80 Birch Street, Bradford, passed away unexpectedly, on Saturday, January 18, 2020, at his residence.  

Born August 20, 1960 in Bradford, he was a son of the late Guy E. and Shelia C. (Webster) Hillard.

On July 19, 1986 in St. Francis Church, he married Susan C. (Butler) Hillard who survives.

He was a 1978 graduate of Bradford High School.

Dan was employed at Kendall Refining Company, ARG and American Water Company from 1979 until 2004. From 2004 until 2009 he worked at Bradford Forest Products. From 2009 to the current time he worked at Top Line in Quality Control.

Dan was a member of the Bradford High Band Boosters and ran their Recycling Program for many years, and he was a member of the Bradford High School Soccer Boosters. For 30 plus years he and his wife bowled in the Sunday Night Mixed League, as well as other leagues.

One of Dan's greatest joys was following his daughter Meagan's career as a softball player for the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, later as she became an assistant coach at Pitt Bradford, and currently as the Head Coach at SUNY Delhi.

He was a proud and avid supporter of the Penn State Nittany Lions Football Team, traveling for years to watch games with his father and cousin Paul Webster. He had recently returned from attending the Cotton Bowl with his daughter Katlyn. 

His other hobbies included cooking, reading and woodworking. 

Surviving in addition to his wife Sue of 33 years, are two daughters, Katlyn Hillard, of Derrick City, and Meagan (Paige Stone) Hillard, of Oneonta NY, one sister, Judy (Kevin) Fox, of Painesville OH, his mother-in-law Charlene Butler, of Bradford, many cousins including, Paul Webster, of Derrick City, and nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his father-in-law Joseph Butler.

Family will receive friends on Thursday January 23, 2020, from 4:00pm to 7:00pm in the Hollenbeck-Cahill Funeral Homes Inc., 372 East Main Street, Bradford, where a prayer service will be held at 9:30am on Friday, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00am in St. Francis Church with Rev.
