Arno you were a wonderful husband, father and grandfather to your family. you were also a very special brother-in-law. I remember you taking us to an Astro game so we could see the newly opened Astro Dome. We had many visits together that I will always cherish. Rest in peace dear friend.

There are no words to express how much I'm going to miss my sweet Daddy and his unconditional love. He was always there for everyone - good times or bad times. It has been a privilege & honor to have him for a Father. I'll always be "Daddy's little girl". I love you so much Daddy.

The Hills have been our neighbors for a very long time. My children have grown up keeping an eye out for him up on the roof getting the leaves off of it and were always amazed that he could still get up there. We are all deeply saddened by his passing but comforted knowing he is no longer in pain. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hill family. May your wonderful memories help you through the difficult times ahead. With deepest Sympathy.

There are not enough words to express how much I'm going to miss my sweet Daddy and his love. He always took care of everyone and everything and was such a strong man. It has been a privilege to have you as a Father for 84 years. You have always been there, through the good times and the bad times. I have no idea what I'm going to do without you. I love you Daddy, more than words can say.

I am newly married into the family, but I have known the Hills' for about 10 years. I felt so close to Grandpa Hill. I loved mine and Bailey's (great grand daughter) trips to church with him and Grandma Hill! His love for that little girl and me was unbelievable. We are glad that you are in heaven and not in pain anymore.
