The son of James William, Jr. and Ann Bolin Hill, Bill was born Sept. 28, 1947, in Stuttgart, Germany. As an Army brat, Bill found friends wherever he lived.

While at Texas Tech, Bill was commissioned in the U.S. Army through the ROTC program and served his country for 10 years with assignments in Germany, Korea, Fort Meade, MD, and Fort Sill, Okla. He continued his studies at the University of North Texas, earning a Master's degree in computer science.

Bill loved dogs and his own canine companions, Chloe and Zoey, gave him great joy in the last years of his life. His hobbies included FPS computer gaming, golf, and building models of military hardware. But his lifelong passion was photography, for which he won several awards.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents.
