Hilmar

Vlasta Hilmar, 74, of Gold Beach, passed away in Gold Beach on July 30, 2014. He was born April 10, 1940 in Prague, Czechoslovakia to Vlastimil and Marie Hilmar. He and his family escaped from Czechoslovakia after World War II, and were some of the lucky few who were allowed to come to the United States. Here Vlasta worked as a chef in various locations around the country. He married Virginia, whom he met in California. They moved to Gold Beach in 1984 where they owned and operated the Rogue Landing RV Park in Gold Beach. Vlasta enjoyed fishing and golfing – he had previously served as president of the men's club at Cedar Bend Golf Course. Survivors include his wife of 39 years, Virginia of Gold Beach, sons, Thomas and David and a brother Mike and three grandchildren. At his request, no public ceremony will be held. Redwood Memorial Chapel is assisting the family. Condolences may be expressed online at www.redwoodmemorial.net.
