I had a crush on him in the Titanic

I was privileged to meet Bernard six weeks prior to his death. He was a sweet, kind man with a knowledge and appreciation of art that we discussed. It was a real pleasure to meet him and I am saddened by his passing. I loved him in Lord of the Rings and appreciated his portrayal of King Theoden.

Watching LOTR will never be the same when it comes time for the big battle when he and Eowyn stood together to fight the the "bad" king. May you Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear about the loss. Definitely be praying for the family in their time of grief.

Dear those whom this may concern,

Regardless of why, as it comes for us all, rejoice that the man lived. He will live on for all time, however. Timeless works such as Titanic, and of course the juggernaut that is LOTR.
Mr. Hill will never be forgotten. Much love from GA, USA. - Cameron O.
