Dear Hilbring Family,

Everett and I would like to express our deepest condolences on the recent passing of your brother Donald. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Although Donald and our older brother Tyrone were classmates and friends, Everett and I spent time in his company over the years, we did come to realize his kindness and compassion towards those less fortunate than him. We know that Donald was highly respected throughout the community and his profession. He will be truly missed.

Please pass our deepest sympathies on to Donald's children and grandchildren.

Sincerely,
Timothy J. Rand

Dear Pat and family,

I am praying for the repose of Donald's soul and the comfort of your family at this time. Know that our heavenly Father is embracing you all in His arms.

Sincerely,

To the Hilbring Family:
I worked with George my first day on the street in January of 1967. I knew Donald before he came on the job. A class family. Now together riding a cloud and watching over all. My condolences. Jim Gorman

To the Hilbring Family, my sincerest condolences.

Wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow and comfort in the midst of pain, someone so special can never be forgotten.

I am also a graduate of St. Columbanus, a few years behind Donald. He will be missed.

Billy and family,

My heartfelt condolence go out to you and your entire family. I first met Donald in 1977,he was a new sergeant and I was a brand new police officer. He was a great supervisor and teacher. We became friends and in later years when I was promoted to sergeant, Donald who was a commander by then requested me to be assigned to his district. for this I will be forever grateful Donald has always been and will always be one of my, most favorite people from my Chicago Police days. I will miss in dearly.
Donald, may your soul rest in peace.

You will be missed by many, a man of men and a true friend. May God be with you in your eternal rest. May the Good Lord be with your family in their hour of bereavement.

Lasting memories come from those we care about. These memories we cherish throughout our life. Mine began in 1976 as a new police officer. He shall always be remembered. Love and prayers to his entire family.

"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." May the Lord's promises be a comfort in the years to come to lessen the grief of this time of sadness.

To the Hilbring Family,

I was fortunate to work with Donald in 022 and with you in 003. He mentored me in his early capacities as a supervisor and ultimately enabled me to navigate many of the complexities of the department before my retirement after thirty-five years.

I share your loss - he will be sorely missed.

Trish, Billy & George III:

Donald did not leave you...he will always remain in your hearts. He was called home to be with your parents, where he was probably missed and needed the most.

Donald has been a pillar in the community, as well as on the police force and the Chicago school system. He was always there where he was needed most. The Hilbrings are a wonderful family and have always meant so much to me, as well as others who love and care for you.

May the Lord continue to bless and guide you in the days to come.

Respectfully,

My sincere condolences to the Hilbring family. Don was a real gentleman, and a great Police Administrator. Ret Capt Tom Faragoi Ft Myers Fl

George III & Family,

Donald was not just a brother, but a friend to you and so many others. He was always kind and thoughtful to my son and I.

You have not lost a loved one, you've only gained another "angel" to love and watch over you. Donald's love will always remain with you.

Donald has been called home to join his loving parents, and he will be truly missed by us all.

May the Lord bless and guide you in your time of sorrow.

Please accept my sincere sympathy. May loving memories bring you peace and comfort.

I was so saddened when Billy called me. I haven't seen Don in a while, but I have told several people about him in the last few months. I was his insurance man for many years until I was retired. He was one of the most wonderful men that I have ever known. I will never forget how nice he was to me from the very first time that I met him. God bless him and his family who he loved so much.

My condolences to the Family of
Don Hilbring . I worked with Don in 22 , great guy . May his soul rest in peace. Jim Solava - CPD

My deepest condolences to the Hilbring Family. Donald was not only a friend of the family(our dads midnights in 3rd Dist), he was also a co-worker, my big brother when I pledged Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and my mentor. Donald should have been Supt of Police, he was intelligent and a leader. Above all Donald was good person...I miss him already. God Bless Donald Hilbring, May he rest in peace!
