Beth El, who spoke at the
funeral. In his work, Mr. Hiller
insisted on honesty and dignity
and had the drive to make
things better, the rabbi added.
Jim said his father's legacy
will be not just his wealth,
but his generous heart. In the
business world, Mr. Hiller's
legacy was to create an entire
*generation of supermarket
managers who learned the
craft under him.
When Mr. Hiller retired in
1989, his son took over. Mr.
Hiller made frequent visits to
his stores, enjoying the con-
tact with employees and cus-
tomers. He visited one of the
stores just a week before his
death. "He beamed like a 30-
. year-old and lit up," Jim said.
In his later years, Mr. Hiller
became a devoted grandfa-
ther to his five grandchildren.
Showing a different side of
his personality, Mr. Hiller was
at one point an agent for
noted artist Peter Max and
sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein.
