Sheldon Philip Hiltz died Saturday, September 21st while holding his wife’s hand.

Sheldon was born in 1947 in Prince Abert, Saskatchewan. He was raised in Lynn Lake, Manitoba, which became the backdrop for many of Sheldon’s stories. An avid storyteller, Sheldon, then dad, then Papa, regaled his loved ones (and in fact anyone who would lend an ear) with stories of his time in the north and his travels around the world. He loved to talk about the people he met and the experiences he had - all of which shaped the person he was.
