CDR John J Mattingly lit a candle

“In loving memory of John Leroy Hill, Someone so special will not be forgotten. A great yet humble veteran leader. John Hill devoted much of his retirement time serving as Commander of both VFW Post 6732 and American Legion Post 38 for well over a decade. Without his dedication and perseverance, most likely neither Post would have survived, yet they thrived. He will forever be held in our highest honor and esteem. We were Blessed to have known him. Fair winds and following seas, my friend.”

Larry Stringfield wrote a sympathy message

“Your family’s loss is absolutely crushing. Trust that our God knows exactly when the right time was to call John home. John gave a large part of his adult life supporting a Nation he loved. His love for all veterans was on display throughout the years of his life following his Army retirement. He never gave up on anyone that I know of. Our Nation has lost a great warrior and unmatched leadership in Master Sergeant John Leroy Hill. Our hearts lost another piece that we wanted to hold on to.”
