Hillman, Jr. (Cindy); 8 grandchildren: Steven (Katherine), Jonathan (Monica), Christian, and Emily Haskins, and Nicole, Zachary, Theodore, and Heidi Hillman; and seven great-grandchildren: Lauren, Elizabeth, Caroline, James, Michael, Russell, and Isabel Haskins, all living in the Los Angeles, California area.
