Not sure what to say?

Col. Hill was one of my favorite teachers of all time. Brilliant and caring, he made learning fun for all of his students. I especially respected him for his service as an Air Force combat pilot. His stories inspired me. I truly missed him after I graduated. Rest in peace, Mr. Hill... Scott Land, AAHS Class of 1977

I just found about today about Col. Hill´s passing. Col. Hill taught me history for two years at Rampart High School during 1983-1985. He is one of the finest teachers I ever had. A man of principle who clearly loved teaching, he is one of the reasons why I became a teacher! RIP.

I took a history class from Col. Watt G Hill at Air Academy High School in 1982 (I think). Mr. Hill was an amazing teacher who made history interesting to someone with no interest in history. Now, I am fascinated by history. Thank you Col. Hill.

I had Col. Watt Hill at Rampart High School i "History of Great Airpowers", Class of '87. Great teacher! Fond of the memories of that class. Thank you for your service! Brgds,Tore

What a GREAT MAN!!!

Mr. Hill was my U.S. History teacher at Rampart High (1985). He was an awesome teacher and inspiration for life. I have thought of him through the years and have to say that he had a part of making me strive to be a better person and Patriot to this country. My condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Mr. Hill. You were one of the best!

Mr. Hill was my most memorable teacher. He took a transfer student in the middle of September and gave me a safe place. I took every class he taught at Rampart. He was so kind, so caring and taught history with a passion. He will be missed but his legacy is in us all. Carla Whiting Rampart Class of 85

Watt and Eunice Hill were our next door neighbors in Monument. our family was privileged to know him and Eunice too while we lived there. He was a wonderful source of information, kindness and integrity. our kids loved to visit with him. our lives were so enriched by knowing him....

We lived next door to Watt and Eunice for 30+ years and you just couldn't ask for better people. Watt, although I never had classes from you, I considered you a great teacher. i learned a lot from you and you'll be greatly missed
