Grandfather to 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Numerous nieces and nephews.
Hylton, as he took his middle name as 1st name, grew up on a large dairy farm in Brantford, Ontario where he developed a love for Belgian horses. He later started his own trucking company and later worked for several companies which allowed him to travel and meet untold numbers of people across Canada and the United States. During “retirement “Hylton continued his fondness for raising Belgian horses and trucking, merging the two passions by delivering farming implements to Ontario’s Amish community. After a brief battle with cancer, Hylton was forced into full retirement settling in the northern community of New Liskeard, Ontario.
