Robert Lee Hill

On Veterans Day, November 11, 2019, Robert Lee Hill got his wings and flew away. He was born March 22, 1935 in West Hollywood California. Bob was raised in Glendale Calif. by his parents, Marion and Al Johnson.

In 1956 he married the love of his life, Linda Lou Taylor. Shortly after they married, he was drafted in the Army stationed at Fort Bragg, Fayetteville NC, where he served as a paratrooper.

Bob and Linda soon started their family having two daughters and a son and moved to Garden Farms CA. There was never a dull moment in that household. Many fun excursions exploring in Arizona, camping at the Colorado River, Boating and Racing.

He was a owner/operator in a vending machine company for many years until they decided to move to Bakersfield where he worked as a foreman in the oil fields until he retired in 2003.

Bob loved being with his family and "playing" with them. You could always count on Bob to "tell it like he sees it" sometimes with no filter. He loved being out on the lakes, car racing, golfing and gardening.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Linda, his daughter Sharon Lawson (Doug), his son Robert Hill (Debora), 10 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and one great, great grandchild. He will be truly missed by all.

He is preceeded in death by his parents, brother Richard and daughter Melanie.
