Unfortunately, we have some sad news to pass along. Roy Hilgemann passed away on July 12th. Roy has been a fixture at Echo Valley for nearly 40 years- especially for the morning crowd. Roy started on the maintenance crew and ended up working in the clubhouse doing too many duties to mention. Roy was as dependable as the sunrise and great worker, but more importantly, he was a great friend to everyone who walked through the doors of Echo Valley. Roy always had time to talk and always put others first. He loved to discuss sports, particularly his Hawkeyes. Roy will be greatly missed but always remembered by all of us. Roy’s family is hosting a memorial service at Echo Valley from 5-7pm this Thursday, July 18th. Please stop by to help honor our great friend, Roy. Below is the obituary.
