It is with a heavy heart that I am posting the obituary for my wife, best friend, and companion for 49+ years, Lynn.  The video of her Memorial Service held on October 11, 2025 can be viewed here.

Greetings!  This website has been created by Joe Hill for the purpose of sharing many resources with family and friends.  Here you will find links to more than 77,000 family pictures plus more than 150 videos.  It also includes professional resources for former students of mine at Bridgewater College and colleagues at Rockingham County Public Schools.   This site provided me with an easy way to share information with my 1968 classmates from Bramwell (WV) High School who celebrated with me our 50th reunion in 2018 then our 55th reunion in 2023.   I recently added to the BHS section a link to a booklet I wrote about the 1967-68 basketball team.  During the COVID pandemic, I added a page of family genealogy including several paths tracing my ancestors plus that of the Hanger family.  In the spirit of nostalgia, I recreated an old website I made twenty years ago featuring son Jim when he played for the Fort Defiance High School tennis team.  Additionally, for the 2020 – 2025 high school basketball seasons this site gave me a way to post homemade and newspaper articles, statistics, game results, pictures, and movies featuring grandsons Henry and Gus Gutshall.  Most importantly, this site contains information about the full time jobs I now have–being a grandfather, father, and husband.  The pictures on this page clearly show what matters most to me.  Note:  several pages are now password protected. For the password, e-mail me (hjosephhill@gmail.com) or text me (540-292-0237) and I’ll be glad to provide it for friends and family.
