So sorry to read this . Bill was my childhood friends dad that I always liked and he always asked how I was a doing . Good man . So sorry Bob and Johnny . You both had a great Mom & Dad . Even if there was a bad time when we were to young to know what was really a going on. But I liked Bill and he always had a kind word to say & always ask how you were a doing. I just read this Bob and as you know when you texted me to come down sat. night I texted you back and told you I was at The Kings Royal . I hope we all can live a good long life like your dad did . 89 is pretty good, as far as I know he always got around well. Uncle Buck and Mom is still living , but Sam put her in that Nursing home Hillview. They all depress me , especially that 3rd floor , they all are just setting . At least he never had to go there . Mom don't weight 90 lbs. I took her some fresh picked black berries , my friend Jeff Brown picked from his he started and they are good and tomato's and a couple cumbers and a McDonalds Biscuit & sausage sandwich & a small coffee with cream & she ate every bit of that :) . Uncle Buck just passed away about a month ago . Emily had him cremated right away , he already paid for it and brought his ashes back and Kim took him to his dads grave and had them buried on top of his . He was 95 and I had just seen him in Feb. and he was pretty good shape. Showed Jeff Brown all around his place & he can't hear ! I banged on that trailer 15 mins he was fixing him some toast with jelly :) . Jeff was grinning . It's sad to see them go ! But one day we will join them in the after life . I'm sure we all will be in heaven! God is good and Bill lived a long life and healthy . Still hurts us in our minds . R.I.P. Bill Hill ! You will be missed .

Haven't seen Bill much these last 7 years since I moved to Hilliard but I loved that old man. Bill over the Hill, Dog man, and many other nicknames. He used to call me Digger. Since I left elks i always kept up on his health and have visited a few times. Sad to hear of the news. Prayers to his family.
