Bio
Robert Lewis (Bob) Hill died at White Hall Rehabilitation and Nursing Facility. He was born in Pine Bluff, Friday, March 9, 1923, the youngest son of the late George Randolph and Mary Mae Borecky Hill. Bob graduated from Pine Bluff High School in the 1941 class. This was the graduating class whose members left their high school years and walked directly into World War II. In January 1943, during World War II, he was drafted into the United States 8th Army Air Force. There he served in the Signal Corps for the next 3 years. While in the European Theater of War, he was stationed in England, France and Germany. He was in England during the height of Hitler's Blitz bombings. After the war years, Bob returned to Pine Bluff and began his employment with the Pine Bluff Post Office in 1948. He retired in 1981. After retiring from the Postal Service, Bob entered a second career, as an independent consultant/coordinator in general home construction. He approached his careers with enthusiasm. Often he would quote his favorite motto: "Find something you enjoy doing and you will never have to work a day in your life." This was framed and placed in his office. Bob was a member of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees (NAFE). Through the years he received a number of commendations for his volunteer work on various projects in community and civic organizations. In addition to his business and civic accomplishments, what pleased him the most was his family. He was a considerate husband, wonderful father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and known to his family as a loving and genuinely nice person. His membership was in the Watson Chapel Baptist Church. Bob taught youth in Sunday School for over 30 years. He was an ordained Baptist deacon.
