Don will be dearly missed by not only me but by everyone he knew. He was more of a big brother to me than a cousin. He looked after me and protected me when needed. I loved him very much. Even though I didn't get to see him much anymore, we both knew that we would always love each other until the end of time. I will love you forever and miss you.

I know that his humor will be missed by many. Angels are laughing. Iím thankful for the memories that Don share with me of my brother. Praying for the family, that GOD be with them.

Dear Pauline, I don't know you personally, only through your Facebook friendship. But I know that the love you shared with your husband was truly a wonderful gift. He was blessed to share his last days with such a loving wife by his side. May he now rest with God and may God now comfort you in your time of sorrow. Prayers to you and your family, you are loved.

I will always Love my dear husband. He was my teacher for all things in our 34 years of life together. I will miss his smile and laughter and the stories he told me. Most of all the jokes and he always told different ones, he would sometimes tell a joke that I have never heard before. There was never a dull monument in our 34 years of marriage. He gave me a good life. He was always here for me and he would never let a day go by without saying that he loves me or asking me have I told you that I love you today? I would say yes and I love you too. I will miss that. You show me what real LOVE is between a woman and a man. I still get butterfly's in my stomach when I think about you as if we just meet and fell in Love.I will always remember what you would say when anyone ask you how are you doing? and you would say, still short fat and ugly. Donald my love you will always be in my heart and never forgotten. I will try to go on without you in my life but I will always be thinking of you. R.I.P. my husband,best friend, and the love of my life. You are in Heaven now with our Lord and our sons. I will see you again in Heaven. Your Loving Wife and Best Friend Pauline

Although I have not seen most of you in a long time, you all have my heartfelt sympathy and are in my prayers. Donald was once a part of my family too and I have some good memories of him as well. Sorry for your loss.

Don will be greatly missed by all of us. He loved my sister Pauline Hill and spoiled her, but in return she loved him. You were one of the funniest person I knew. You could always make a joke out of anything. I will miss your teasing and your laughter. I love you Donald Hill and one day we will see each other again. We here on this side of heaven will watch after Pauline, rest now in the loving arms of Jesus.

Donald,where do I start? I have so many memories and things I would like to say. You were always there for me when I needed "Big Brother" advice, help and information. You helped me a lot in the trucking industry as well as many other areas in life. We worked together, laughed together, hurt together. I will miss your sense of humor and jokes. I had you for my Brother for 55 years and sometimes a Father-figure. I love you with all my heart and you will be very sadly missed!! Love Your Little Brother, Larry

Don you know we loved you a lot. We lived beside you the last 20 yrs. We have ups and downs but way more ups than downs for sure, cause we couldn't keep from laughing at you and your silliness. You and Pauline took care of my son when I need you all and I am grateful to you for that. No questions asked from you all. We shared a life with you and we are happy to know you went to Heaven to be with our FATHER AND LORD AND SAVIOUR. I know now you are in a great place just look around one day and we will be right there with you. I'll miss calling you at night and bothering you. I'll miss the times you made me come and eat. I'll never forget you loved my meatloaf. These last couple of months. We love you brother and we'll meet again very soon. I can see you now singing and jumping for joy and worshiping our Lord. Keep your sons by your side now. Now you can show them your love. I do promise to you that I will take care of your wife. R.I.P. now and know that you will be missed BY MANY. love you. Irene and Dean
