Harry Harrell Hill, loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, passed away on May 23, 2020 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's. Harry, son of Bertha and Harry H. Hill, was born in Houston, TX on October 12, 1939.

Following his graduation from Tomball High School in 1957, he enlisted in the US Navy and received an appointment to the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD from Congressman Albert Thomas. In 1961, US Naval personnel were informed due to Nikita Khrushchev's building of the Berlin Wall, all enlistments were to be extended 6 months. During this time, Harry was stationed at the Philadelphia Naval Yard, where he met the love of his life, Patricia Kyne of Philadelphia, PA. In 1962, the two were married. They raised two sons, Harry and Thomas and three daughters, Alana, Leah, and Deanna.

Harry was an avid Texan, outdoorsman and sports fan with a particular love of ice hockey. He was at his best during the winter months either in a duck blind in Brookshire, TX or rink side at Sharpstown Ice Center. His love of hockey culminated into 5 years of coaching youth ice hockey in Houston. Another interest Harry participated in was softball as he enjoyed coaching.

Harry has been a Knights of Columbus member for more than 26 years and a 4th degree member for over 11 years. He also served as a Grand Knight of Council 9564 in Livingston.

Harry is survived by his wife Patricia and his five children, Harry Hill of Houston, TX, Alana Hancock (husband, Brian, children Jordan and Ryan of Waynesville, MO), Leah Howard (husband Reggie, children Kylie, Kendall, Karis, and Ben of Livingston, TX), Deanna Baker (husband Lee, children Will and Andrew of Austin, TX), and son Thomas Hill (wife Deanna, children Chloe and Ethan of Los Angeles, CA) along with two great grandchildren, Madelyn Hancock of Washington, DC.
May you rest in peace alongside your parents with the knowledge that you will be dearly missed by those fortunate enough to have known you and even more so by those who called you "dad." Take care dad, until we meet again.
