George Edward Hill, aged 63 passed away April 17, 2019. He was born In Banbury, Oxfordshire, England where his father was stationed in the military. He and his family lived in various places in the United States during his father’s military service, but central Texas was always home. George’s high school years were spent in Waco, which is where he met his wife, Janet. They lived in Sugar Land, Texas and enjoyed the friendship of many wonderful friends.
After attending Texas State Technical College in Waco, he was hired by Shell Oil Company and worked there for 33 years as a Research Engineer. He took great pride in his work there and made lasting relationships with many of the people there.
He was passionate about many things… family being first. But close behind that was his love for music. He learned to play guitar as a teenager and continued to play, record and enjoy music all his life. He shared his love for music with so many, including both his sons.
George is survived by his wife of 44 years Janet Hill, sons Geoffrey and Kevin Hill, brother Kenny Hill, sister Mellissa Hill, and four grandchildren, Damien, Lucas, Eva and Payton Hill as well as many extended family members.
A funeral mass will be celebrated on April 29th at St. Laurence Catholic Church in Sugar Land at 10 am. Interment to follow in Waco at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Houston Area Parkinson Society or to the Pregnancy Resource Medical Center in Rosenberg, Texas.
