Dear Betty Lou and Family,
Remembering all the good times we had together at "Auntie" Angie's and "Uncle" Jimmy's. Skip was a wonderful and smiling man and we were all fortunate to have known him. You are a very special family and I extend my heartfelt sympathy, love and prayers to all of you.

Dear Jimmy, Mrs. Hill and family:
Last night my sister called me and told me the sad news. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a kind and wonderful man. I will never forget his advice and kind words of encouragement when I was pregnant with my son Noel. It was very comforting at a difficult time in my life, and I will always remember him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. Kelly

I'm very sorry to hear about Mr. Hill. He was my favorite customer when I worked at Dunkin Donuts on Watertown St. for many years. I will never forget his smiling face, he truly brightened my day when he came in for his coffee!
With deepest sympathy,

Mr. Hill,
Sir, I didn't know you but as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served with the USMC in Korea and secondly for the citizens of Newton when you served with the NPD. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dad,
I am truly convinced that if love alone could have kept you alive, you would still be here today.
As difficult as it has been to see you decline in the past 10 months, I must say that Mom gave you the greatest gift in the world by honoring your wish to die at home. This enabled Jeff & I, and the rest of your family and friends to have the time and opportunity to be by your side during your final weeks and days. I will cherish our last conversation always.
Even at the end, your grandchildren were not afraid to stay by your side, and were comforted by the fact that you could still hear their words of love and feel their kisses. We will all do our best to make sure they remember their Papa and that they will know each and every grandchild had a special place in your heart. Your children were very lucky to have had such a kind and loving man as their father. I see your best traits in each and every one of your kids and I am honored to have married into your wonderful family.
I will miss the twinkle in your eyes and the way your face lit up when you smiled. And who else but you and Sha really understood what working night shift is really like? Who is going to give the kids whiskie kisses? Who am I going to bake brownies for? There will be a void in all of our lives….
I am honored to have had such a wonderful father in law.
Love always, Tracy

Dad,
What can I say? You asked many things in our time together, and I can only hope I met your expectations. You said that I should always try my best, and you'd expect nothing less. You never forced your opinions or personal hopes on me, only that I be the best me I could. I hear your voice in everything I tell my kids, sometimes with a laugh, sometimes with a tear.
It seemed you knew everyone, and everyone knew you, no matter where you were. You had so many friends. I always took pride in the fact that everyone respected you, as you did them.
I remember being on the football field calling a play and hearing you yell, "muckle 'em Jeff", not ever quite sure how a quarterback "muckles". You snuck away from work wearing a windbreaker over your uniform so you wouldn't miss one game. You smiled at all the sports banquets when we got trophies, and now being a parent, I understand that smile. You stood in the cold wind doing details so you could provide a good meal on our table every night, and that that was family time.
You helped us cope with our fears when mom was sick with cancer. And you made us face our fears so we could learn to fight in life. You let go of our bikes when we didn't know it and we then learned to ride. You always knew the right time to hold on, and to let go, no matter what the cost. You were never selfish. You said, "do it again, I didn't see you", when we skinned our knees, your way of hiding your pain for us. You said all you wanted for your birthday was well behaved children with a chuckle. You told us to, "get a job" when we asked for money.
We learned to share, say sorry, be honest and respectful, and stand up for each other. That somewhere, someone else had it worse. That lying was worse than the original offense and that when mom said, "wait til dad gets home", we knew we messed up. You told us to leave our sister alone, every time we picked on her.
Every time I hold the door for an elderly person, I hear your voice. You were at every turn watching us, (including open campus at high school when you'd catch us sneaking out for lunch in Newtonville square with a yell and a whistle, "hey, school is that way". I know you stand watching over us today, and your presence will be felt during the kids games, graduations, or accomplishments. Each one of us, all of us, knows we hold a special place in your heart, as you do in ours.
You took great pride in Tracy and I and our family. You welcomed her into our family as if she was your own daughter. You asked for her every time we talked. You came to her Nursing pinning in a blinding snowstorm and told her you wouldn’t miss it for the world. You know that I have the most amazing wife and know she will look out for me.
In the last year you asked that I promise you that you would not suffer, and that I act as your health care proxy. I took this responsibility so that I could be as unselfish as you, even though I don’t want to let go. I was honored that you had this faith in me.
I could write a lifetime on this page, but I say this. If I can be half the father that you are, I'm doing OK. I have an immense emptiness that there is no way to fully prepare for. That emptiness is now being filled with wonderful memories of my dad.
In the end we stayed at your side as you'd have done for us. On the day God took you, we moved your bed to the open doors. The breeze and sunlight couldn't have been ordered any better. You laid in that sun light with us as we shared memories of your life together. We joked, cried, and sat quietly. Your breath slowly faded. There wasn't a cloud in the sky.
I love you dad.
your son. -Jeff
