Stevie Hilton

[Arthur Mulholland]

I'm really sorry to hear about Steven. I first met him around 40 years ago when we played in one of the individual tournaments. I probably still have the game. No doubt it will be the Nancy Elder. The janitor was kicking us out of the venue at Cardinal Newman high school as the longer time control meant we'd overrun 10pm. I was going to resign but Steven was good enough to seal a move and we continued at my parents house. He won. Shortly after that he suffered a terrible family tragedy and I felt that he never got over that and his health deteriorated shortly after.
Rest in Peace.
