Philip was brother to Richard Hill, who preceded him in death, and to Jean Maxwell and was a proud and loving uncle to her children Missy Maxwell and Paula Maxwell. He was also preceded in death by his brother-in-law James Maxwell and his nephew James ( Jamie ) Maxwell Jr.

Philip had a passion for electronics, cowboys, old-time humor and good moral sensibility and was proud survival specialist ( especially tornados and hurricanes ). He loved playing with his nephew and raising his wonderful children and being a good husband to his beloved wife. He treasured his family and friends and would always show up when needed.

Known for brightening a room and bring smiles to everyone around, Philip will be remembered for his kind heart, his infectious smile, and his unwavering love for his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
