In later years, he settled in the mountains of eastern Washington enjoying a quiet life. He was a proud US Air Force veteran, having served his nation as an automatic tracking radar specialist in ground warfare operations. He was preceded in death by his parents Roderick C. Hill, Jr. and Myra Jean Mittelstaedt-Hill. He is survived by his sisters Patty and Martha (Jim Stevenson) and niece, Sarah. Services in Arizona will be private.

"May the Lord support us all day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, in His mercy, may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last." In Jesus' Name, we give thanks.
