Pastor Hill,

My Pastor that loved me, my wife, and children. Pastor believed in me and saw in me more than I thought I had. Pastor was an insatiable encourager that loved his children and took his pastor-ship to heart.

I am still trying to regain my footing since his moving out of Miami "out of our lives." I will try harder to make him proud.

It hurts that he is no longer with us. However, I take solace in knowing that he is walking the Streets of Gold he often mentioned and the hope of seeing him again - NOT ANY TIME SOON:-)

I know my Pastor had a good sense of humor - He'll get a good laugh!

Pastor, enjoy the fruit of your labor - My good and faithful servant friend.

He is "Walking in the Streets of Gold" is the first thought that crossed our mind when we first heard the news. While we are sad to know he is not "here," we are rejoicing in knowing he is over "there." He was a wonderful man who lived life to the fullest.

Pastor Hill has been not only a "Man of the cloth", but a true friend to my family. He has helped us through many tragedies as well as many
joyous occasions. Truly a caring man. It is very unfortunate for those
who never had the pleasure to meet him and a true gift for those of us
who did. Heaven surely has become a much brighter place.

Pastor Jack will be remembered as a man who loved life, loved his family and loved God's word. Donna said many times he's truly a man of God. He always took time to listen and share God's wisdom in an encouraging way. You felt uplifted and a certian healing after talking with Pastor. When Donna needed surgury and had to be at the hospital at 5:00 a.m. he was the first one there ( smiling ). He visited
my brother in the hospital and led him to the lord . We are just one of many families he has loved, councled and prayed with through the years. He will always be our Pastor. Jack & Donna Roth

This is Pastor and I on my Sweet 16 i will always remember this day for EVER
