He wore many different hats in life but the one that suited him best was a gold hat. He was an excellent player and an excellent teacher of the game.

Those that preceded him included his parents Bill and Betty Hill, sister Ann Hill and niece Lissa Ann Hill.
We all feel sad about losing him so soon but we appreciate the time we had with him and cherish our memories of him.
