He was born on February 19, 1936 to Walter and Lillian Adair Hill in Holdenville, OK. He had two sisters, Betty and Jean, and six brothers, Walter Jr, Kenneth, Gerald, Jimmie, David, and Harold. He married Helen Faye Hall in July 1955.
Erol was part of the National Guard for three years and had a long successful career at Seagate in Oklahoma City. Erol's greatest work however, was the life he lived each day as a servant of Christ. He was a charter member of the Calvary Freewill Baptist Church and an ordained deacon. Erol had a strong work ethic; his hobbies were attending his children's and grandchildren's activities, occasionally fishing, and working on home and church projects. If you couldn't find him at home, he was at Calvary maintaining the grounds or improving the building. He took his family on numerous vacations to South Padre Island, TX and after retirement, he enjoyed travelling the United Sates with Helen. He embodied servant leadership in every aspect of his life; as a husband, father, grandfather, deacon, employee, friend, and above all, a Christian. He leaves a legacy of faith and love with all who knew him.
Left with wonderful memories are his children: Paul and wife Kathy Hill, Sandra and husband Jerry Lewis; grandchildren: Kyle and wife Jennifer Hill, Kristin Hill Drake and Cory Tanner, Kameron and wife Amy Hill, Erin Lewis, Megan Lewis Johnson, and Mycah Lewis. He is also survived by one brother, Harold and wife Jewel Hill; and eleven great grandchildren.
Erol joins his wife Helen, the great love of his life, his parents, two sisters, and five brothers to live eternally in the presence of his Heavenly Father.
Well...We're glad we got to see you. And we did see you. And we learned how to live by it.
