Jimmy was always a hard worker, he worked two full-time jobs. He worked for Schreiber Foods for 41 years and for the Oneida Nation for 31 years before retiring in 2010. Jimmy can be known for his kind, gentle soul. He was the kind of person you could sit with saying little and yet felt so comfortable and loved in his presence. Jimmy took his responsibilities of husband, dad, and Papa to heart.

Jimmy enjoyed going for rides, watching the Brewers, Packers, and Bucks, attending his grandchildren's events, watching his birds, taking care of his yard, joking around, country music, seafood boils, gambling, collecting bears, fishing, and reminiscing about his younger days of playing ball, jigging, and his classic cars. Jimmy mostly treasured all his time with his wife, they were never apart. Their love was truly one of a kind full of devotion, unconditional love, and dedication. Jimmy couldn't wait to meet with the love of his life once again in the gates of Heaven.

Jimmy's values, morals and unconditional love for his family will forever carry on inside each of us. Jimmy was always very proud to be a Hill. You can always remember Jimmy Hill's departures as, "See you later, tak'er easy."

One of Jimmy's final words to his kids and grandchildren was, "Be Strong, I love You."
