    Very sad to hear :( I had the pleasure of meeting him last year at a Charity Event at his house. What an awesome man, a man I will never forget. Was expecting to see him again this year at Danville’s D’ Elegance show, but I guess his time has come. Rest in Peace Mr. Hill!

    Wow...as inescapable as death is, things like this never cease to be disheartening. Sad.

    Rest in peace, Mr. Hill.

    Many years ago I met him at a FCA-SE dinner event at faf motorcars. His stories and recollections were all very interesting. I was very young, and he still gave me the same attention he gave to the FCA VIP members. He autographed a picture of himself for me, and didn't make me feel uncomfortable about asking for the autograph. Class.
