Bill Hill was born on August 12, 1932 to Joseph Earl and Ruby Tyson Hill in Parker County, Texas. On June 9, 1952, Bill married his childhood sweetheart, Shirley Turner in Roswell, New Mexico. Bill (or Papaw as the grandkids liked to call him) was a dedicated father and grandfather who never missed a baseball game, track meet, cheer competition or any other opportunity to be with the family. Bill was a man of many hobbies and valued his connection to the land. He grew his own vegetables, raised chickens and goats, plowed in his tractor and sat on his front porch identifying birds. He loved to cook and especially enjoyed attempting new and unusual dishes like ox-tail stew. Bill and his wife, Shirley, loved traveling in their RV and had many great adventures together across the United States – even to Canada and Alaska. Bill worked for many years for the 555 Company – starting as a delivery boy and later as one of their salesmen. In his free time, Bill was an active member of the Lubbock Elks #1348, the PanWest District for over 45 years and proudly served as the President of the Texas Elks State Association in 1994 – 1995. He was awarded a life member in May of 2000. Survivors include his wife, Shirley Hill; their daughter, Vickie Dianne Cicchese, Lloyd Alan Hill and wife, Gina, Greg Glenn Hill and wife, Lisa; grandchildren, Terrace Hill, Antonio Cicchese and wife, Shawna, Logan Ford and husband, Chris, Aaron Hill and wife, Misty, Trevor, Tate, and Grant Hill; great-grandchildren, Jett and Olivia Hill; brother, James Hill; sister, JoAnn McCandles and husband, Lawrence. He was preceded in death by his sisters Mary Garner and Linda Womack and his parents, Joseph Earl and Ruby Alice Hill.
