Our Love & prayers are with the Hill family. Ron is what I called him not coach, inside joke, you will truly be missed. I remember when you were the head coach for the Bay Neptunes in Chesapeake Va. Oh how I got on your nerves being the GMs wife, acting if I was the coach. We had such good times, roads trips and all. We once was on a road trip for a game, we women for the Bay Neptune caused such a Ruckers, we had to get out of there fast. So many funny memories I can share. You are loved by us all and we will miss you.❤ Oh one of hes favorite sayings Hootie Hoo!

My thoughts and prayers for the Hill family. Coach Hill was an incredible man that I had the privilege of coaching with in Cincinnati in 2009. I've always been appreciative for him as a person and a teacher in many ways. I'm sorry for your loss of a great man.

I learned so much from you from our years spent with the Bay Neptunes. I valued the conversations traveling in the Coach's car for all of the games.
Years later, we are on opposite sides of the field. The bond was not opposite!!!
Prayers will be with you and your family.

I had the privilege of coaching with Coach Hill for two years while I was at MV. We had continued to keep in contact with each other since then. He was always encouraging, would challenge the kids and hold them accountable and, he loved his family. We've had some great conversations over the years regarding many topics but, no matter what, his face changed when he talked about his family. Looking forward to seeing him again! RIP brother!

Ron was a great friend and colleague in our volunteer work for the City of Milton Parks Dept. His presence lit up a room and he was a proud father and wonderful coach and was able to guide many discussions balancing coaches and parents sometimes conflicting wants.

My heart goes out to his family and kids and know that your Dad is with God.
