I am truly sorry for your loss. I was privileged to meet Mr Hill in Hampton at Boo Williams Center. My daughter and I spent the day talking with him between games. It was an honor.

I´m just now learning of his passing last year. I was reading the book he wrote and autographed for my son back in 2009. I knew Ezra from the langley commissary when I worked there. What a special man and such a kind person. I´m so happy I had the opportunity to talk with him and know a Tuskegee airman. That was such an honor and I will always remember Ezra and pass the book down to grandkids so they will learn about the history of the Tuskegee Airmen and his story. His legacy will live on..
With Sympathy,

The Hill Family, please accept my sincerest condolences in the passing of Mr. Hill, Sr. I was privileged to know him throughout my Little League days and high school/legion sports career. He was truly a kind and wonderful person. His wife, Mable, taught me in school. Ezra, Jr. was a friend and a very formidable opponent on the baseball field. We are still looking for for the ball on top Warwick HS. Mr. Hill, Godspeed on your next journey, thank you for taking the time to help me grow as a person and player. You are a phenomenal person that impacted countless people. Keep a close eye on us from Heaven.

I was privileged to meet Ezra when we were working for the Navy at NARDAC/NCTAMSLANT. He was a great coworker and a very nice person. I later learned about him being one of the Tuskeegee airman. RESPECT! Fair winds and following seas my friend......
