Wyn Hiles, 67, of Landenberg, died Sunday, Feb. 14, surrounded by his family after a brief, sudden illness. Born in Harrisburg, on Feb. 9, 1949 to the late Bernard M. Hiles and Eva Runk Hiles, he grew up in Newark, and was a long time resident of Landenberg. A 1967 graduate of Christiana High School, he went on to earn his bachelor’s of science degree in economics from the University of Delaware.
In addition to his parents, Wyn was preceded in death by his first wife of eight years, Connie Young Hiles. He is survived by his current wife Cindy, with whom he shared 25 years of marriage; his sons, Lee, son of Connie, and Andrew; his brother Dr. Samuel Allison, sister-in-law Marilyn, nephew Jim Allison, niece Susan Monticello all of Sacramento, Calif. He is also survived by cousins Debbie Snow, Mary K McCullough, an aunt Carolyn Baker and his in-laws, nieces, and nephew, all of who will greatly miss him.
He was an employee of the DuPont Company at the Stine-Haskell Lab in Newark, from 1980 until his retirement in January 2012. Wyn held many positions during his career, beginning as a lab technician in crop protection and at retirement as a project manager.
Wyn enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his sons. He was happiest sketching, designing and building projects of every shape, form, and size. He was extremely creative and industrious, always having numerous endeavors in the works. He was constantly redesigning and renovating, from the home in Landenberg he built in its entirety for Connie and Lee to a cottage on the Bohemia River he renovated with Cindy and Lee. In retirement he enjoyed expanding his project repertoire, working in his vegetable garden, boating, camping and spending time in the Adirondacks.
Wyn will be remembered by friends and family as a caring, loving husband, proud father, devoted son and brother, and loyal friend.
