Daddy, My best friend in the world! You gave me strength, wisdom, knowledge and independence. You educated me on how to survive in this world. I will always keep you in my heart. Words could never express the love that I have for you. I remember when I got my first spanking it hurt you more then me. I will always be your darling and the other pet names that you called me. This will be the hardest thing that I have ever had to face in my life. I know that you will always be with me. I will be successful in all things that we talked about before you close your eyes.

My poem to you

A wonderful man brought me into this world his last and only little girl. Talk about the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. My father I see in me morning noon and night “Dushane” you’re the sun that shine so bright. I will continue to make my calls to hear that long talk that you gave. I want you to know that you’re my super man for the rest of my days.

I love you daddy

Today, i learned this guest book was available. My sympathy to the Hill's family. I was told of Hills death while at the service-station. I was hurt, could not believe my friend had fallen, he was now in God's Army, one of the leaders up front. He was the man, I smile today,because I have known Hill over 30 years, he was then and now a standup man. He told you like it was ,it didnt matter if you like what he was saying or not,that just how it was. As Muddy Waters say. Today I lost my best friend.. We had plan to drive our buses in the Rodeo this year, and get tickets to the Super Bowl, we will do neither..but Hill you got one over me. you used your ticket to Heaven. this is the greatest super bowl ticket ever ..Today. you have the front ticket up front to the super bowl of Heaven, during God's work, don't worry about me man, I will have a cup of coffee with you each and every morning, It will be sad, but me and the boys will continue to tell our morning stories in your honor. This morning i said a prayer for the gang, I told the lord we lost our best friend, he said no man you still have your friend, I am just using him to do some of the Lord's work. don't worry, he is in the best of care. You can talk to him anything you wish, just think of his name, got to tell you ,he will be plenty busy. but he will keep in touch. so long buddy from all your body shop friends, and bus drivers..until the day.. God bless good Bye from; Adam, Robert, Randy, JT, John, Jim ,John Earl , Fred, Skipper, Lewis , Castolls and many more.
many more...

Monday morning, I saw a Tour bus pass. It was full of people laughing singing, and signing their names, not a sad face on board.It was moving swift and fast on down the road. Someone yell Dude Hill you are moving too fast. no response, for he was driving for God. He was climbing the hills and moving through the valley on his way to Heaven. Man, that was a good looking Tour bus.Showing all the work of Mr. Hill. He was a very good Artist,Thats why God had chosen his bus, and he as the driver.He was a man of his word,Always ready to help his fellow friend. The Coopers,Halls,Scurrys, Howells ,and Turners are very bless to have had this man as part of our family . Hill we will miss you, but we know you are alright.sitting up there amongs God's table telling the stories of your life.
To the Hill Family, be strong,watch over each other, your dad is'nt far, he's watching over you.and we are here to help

Dear Pop..this is your son Gregg..there will never be enough space to write on any given page to say what kind of person you was.Everyone that knew you already do. This has hit me very hard and I'm still having a very hard time with it. You and I was just together the other day and had plans to do another job together as always but now God had a bigger job for you to do and this was it. I just want to thank you for all the things that you have done for me and taught me. You did not tell me goodbye Pop but I will see you again and I will say hello. I'm missing you like crazy man and as you and I always say to each other whenever we would part..."LOVE YA MANE!!" Rest in peace..you are home now..you are in a much better place where Jesus said he went to prepare for all of us.Your son,..Mr. Gregg Winfrey

Dushane, you will be missed, I thank God he placed you in my life, and the wonderful years we shared with each other's family, I am sure you never met a stranger and you never fail to assist when someone really needed help. Thank God for such a giving person, and to the Hill family I say we have a God who sits high and look low. His eye is on the sparrow and he is watching over all of you. God Bless

Love Always

The Moore family, sending our deepest sympathy during these trying times. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hill when Otis, and Michelle brought him by the house, couldn't have asked for a more cool, pleasant guy. Our prayers will continue to flow for all of you.
