Jack Hill 1932 ~ 2005 FARMINGTON - On Monday, September 26, 2005, our father, grandfather and friend, Jack Hill, ended his courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. He fought this disease with such dignity and strength. Jack was born October 17, 1932 to Cora Pearl and Melvin Hill. He married Mary Dawson (later divorced). He is survived by his daughter Natalie (Corey) Houmand, and his son Lance (Ruth) Hill, five grandsons, four granddaughters and one great-grandson. He was preceded in death by his son Ryan. He is also survived by his brothers Dick and Joe Hill. Jack lived an amazing life. He attended Davis High School and then Utah State University. As an All-American half-back for the Aggies, he had great success. He still holds the all time scoring record. He left Utah State to serve a mission for the LDS church in Canada. When he returned he chose to continue playing football and was drafted in the NFL by the Baltimore Colts; however, he signed with the Saskatchewan Rough Riders. After playing in Canada, he was signed by the Denver Broncos, where he played until his career ended due to a knee injury. He was inducted into both the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, and the Utah Sports Hall of Fame. Jack's life included a career in the car business. He was the owner of Jack's Auto Sales. He also continued his passion for football as he coached both his sons and grandsons in Little League. You didn't want to be a referee making a call against Coach Hill's team!! Jack loved the game of golf. He was a master of the short game, and was currently perfecting "the swing of the future." He has been a member of Oakridge for over 30 years, and his "buds" from the club were family. Their love and devotion to him will never be forgotten. Funeral services will be Monday, Oct. 3, 2005 at 11 a.m. at Lindquist's Kaysville Mortuary, 400 North Main. Friends and family may call Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Monday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the mortuary. Interment, Kaysville City Cemetery. "What's the deal?" We'll miss you Dad. e-mail condolences to the family at [email protected] Salt Lake Tribune, The (UT) Date: October 2, 2005
