He was born on July 19, 1931 in Wesley Township, Ohio to Clyde and Nancy (Norris) Hill and was the youngest boy of eleven children.

He is survived by two daughters, Deborah Hill Griffiths (Jeff Nickley) of Virginia MN and Jennifer McDougal (Matthew) of Waterford OH and his two grand-children Kinzley and Wesley, his sisters Madlyn Willis (David), Linda Harris (Richard), Betty Farley, Carolyn (Sally) Hill, and brother Curtis Hill; as well as, many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews.
