Robert was born Feb. 12, 1949, in Laverne, Ala., a son of the late R.C. Hill and Beula Mae Barber Hill, and he came to the area with his family as a child.

He was a 1968 graduate of LaBrae High School and proudly served in the United States Marine Corps.

Robert worked at the Warren Sanitation Department for 38 years and advanced to supervisor, a position he held for the last five years of employment before retiring in 2009.

He greatly enjoyed fishing, watching television, and football and baseball. Robert also enjoyed race cars and old-fashioned automobiles, but most of all, he enjoyed time spent with his family.
