Roger “Bud” Hille, 75, of South Beloit, passed away at home Sunday, March 19, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer. Born January 15, 1942 in Freeport, IL. Son of Russell and Irene (Stevens) Hille. Married Ruth Rouse on September 6, 1959 in Freeport. She preceded him in death on March 19, 1997. Roger worked at Murphy Trucking and then TNT /Holland as a dispatcher. Member of the Moose Lodge.

Found enjoyment in playing euchre weekly and cribbage with a few neighbors. His joy came from growing all kinds of vegetables and flowers in his garden and when it came time to harvest he would share his produce with everyone. He enjoyed being outside which led him into mowing lawns and snowplowing

for people around the neighborhood. He was more than willing to help anyone when they needed him.

He is survived by his loyal dog Izzy who was always by his side; daughter, Connie (Dale) Walling; son, Russell (Renee) Hille; sisters, Sandra Shade and

Karen Rouse; aunts, Norma Hille and Louise McNett; 4 grandchildren with another on the way; 3 great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Family would like to Thank Mike and Robin for everything that they did for Dad. Special Thanks to Beloit Regional Hospice for their compassionate care of Dad.
