Mr. Hill was born March 29, 1946 in San Angelo, the son of Louis Aaron Hill and Doris

(DeMoville) Hill. He joined the Texas Civil Air Patrol at the age of 15. He joined the United

enlisted in the United States Army, retiring in 1984. He was a Vietnam veteran. He married Doi

Troung, June 29, 1972 in San Angelo.

After his 20 years of military service, he worked in private security jobs, law enforcement and

corrections jobs, and government contract jobs that took him all the way to the Middle East in

support of military and government personnel, not retiring from such work until he was 65 years

old. He also volunteered as a citizen supporter of local police. He was extremely proud to have

spent 50 years of his life serving, protecting, and defending his country, his community, and his

family.

the Earth with a mission to transform the sufferings of life into joy for himself and others. He

was also a member of the VFW in Killeen.
