Dad, I still can’t believe that you’re gone. It was a pleasure to take care of you, during your final days on this Earth. I want to thank you for ALWAYS being there for me. You taught me so many lessons about life, and you are the reason that I am the man that I am. I’ll make sure that Austynn is well taken care in your absence, she loved you so much ❤️ Thank you for teaching me how to be a REAL truck Driver and how to do it with dignity and pride. I’ll see you when I get there, cause I know you’ll be happy to see me again. Love you Dad and rest easy till I see you again!!!🫶🏾💙
Condolences to the family. He was always kind and one of the best neighbors. Will truly be missed. Pat Dorris and family
Big Skip will always be remembered as someone you could call on to help you with anything. He would find a way and if he didn’t have what you needed he would disappear and come back with it. As long as I remember it has been Skip and Diane. My condolences and prayers to all of you during this time. He will truly be missed. GOD bless you
Deepest condolences to the family. I went to school with Little Skip, his son, at Marietta. Big Skip was always a big part in raising his son to be a blessing of a man. Our prayers are with you all as you get through this difficult time.
We pray the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief.
With heartfelt condolences, love and prayers to your family.
Mr. Uncle Alvin you’re the best uncle a niece could ask for. I’m thankful for the memories and the love we shared. Rest Easy
Dear Tiffany, Jonathan and Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.With sincere condolences and love, Tamikia HarrisAlabaster, AL
My sincere condolences. Prayers, blessings, and love
There are so many wonderful memories I could share, but they all recycle around late night video chats with Aunt Diane and “Uncle Skip” coming into the frame, stating his displeasure with how loud we were being, and then properly take his place in the sofa behind her to aggravate us from his seat! Funny guy with a lot of love for his family and friends! That is what I’ll remember most! My prayers to the entire family both blood and chosen! Love y’all so much! -Juneia Gober-Hawkins
My condolences to the family, Skip was a great person he will always be remembered.
The light on this earth is a little dimmer. James Hill SR was a good man, bless father, grandfather, and brother. God gave him to us for a short spell. if you knew james.Hill you knew God’s soldier. You are truly missed.
R.I.P Beep-Beep! Thank you for keeping that deep freezer stocked for those after school munchies. Luv Ya Spud-Lee & Family!
Deepest condolences to Diane, Tiffany, Little Skip and the Hill family. I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. The Lord blessed Diane (my cousin) with a good husband that loved his family. He will be missed but never forgotten. Keeping the family in my prayers through this difficult time. Love you. 💕
