    My deepest condolences to the Hill Family. I will always smile with the many memories of Mr. Hill and growing up with Eddie, Donna and Steven. From setting up CB radios to fixing mini bikes and the Rupp to witnessing Ernie's great mechanical skills rebuilding a dart in the back yard. Giving Eddie that Valiant(?) that we drove around in the back field. I am still amazed at the stories and at the tricks he had to fix things like doing a tune-up in the dark or fixing the door of my challenger w/ a 2x4... and so many more great memories. RIP Mr. Hill and may god bless the Hill family.
