Lois and family,
I have fond memories of your husband and father during my early childhood. My Father, George Hill and Myron worked at the RRVF as the “bankers”. I would watch those two counting ticket sales and the bank roll every night as I too worked out their doing many jobs. My condolences, David Hill

My sympathies to the family of Myron. I was an employee at Merchant’s Bank in the 60’s and Myron was an officer in the TimePay Dept. where I worked as well.
What a wonderful man, kind, gentle, great smile, and sense of humor. Just wanted you to know that he made impressions of the same on many employees there at the bank. May he rest in peace.

My dear beautiful family, How blessed was I to be present when our dear Lord called his servant home. It broke my heart to see him go but I know he is in a very beautiful place. God bless you all with love and mercy and know that the gentle giant, Myron, dwells in the house of the Lord where there is no more pain, only the joyful songs of the many angels who have gone before us and watch over us now and forever. I love you all so much, you will remain in my heart, my thoughts, and my prayers and throughout this Christmas season,I pray that your gift be that of memories that dry your tears and bring you peace. Love, Debbie

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad time!
Dad, You were the kindest, most loving man I knew. Thank you for all the things you taught me and passed down to me. I am so much more than grateful to have been so fortunate to have you for my Dad. I love you to the moon and beyond. I will never forget you but now hold you and our memories in my heart. Thank you for everything. I miss you so much I ache. As you would want, I will keep on keeping on and it’s now my turn to take care of everyone. Love you Dad!!! Your daughter, Julie
Dad, As I told you at the hospital, I take a big piece of you with me wherever I go. Now more than half a year since your passing that is not any less. Love, Jeff
