To Coach Dick Hill and family: Let me start by expressing my heartfelt condolences to Coach Hill's wife Donna and family, with the passing of your beloved husband and father. Coach Hill meant the world to me as a young man, and was one of the most inspiring and memorable men in my entire life. I thank God for having him as my coach and mentor while being a "Provo Bulldog". In 1955, one year after Coach Hill became the head Football coach, at the old Provo High School located downtown, he wrote the following in my yearbook: "Well Captain, let's see what we can do with the football team next year. I couldn't have a better captain to help me to lead the team. I will keep in touch with you this summer so we can work out a schedule for our team. Have fun this summer." The next year (1956), Coach Hill working his second year as a gridiron coach for P.H.S., instilled within our team a spirit of determination that led our team to the Region 3 Football Championship. This allowed our school to go to the state semi-finals for the first time in many years, but we were defeated by a lucky Murray High School team. We played our final game in a rainstorm with two inches of mud in the middle of the Murray playing field. Coach Hill was so disappointed we could've played on a sunny day. Many thanks, Coach Hill for teaching me not only how to be a successful football quarterback but for providing me with so many wonderful memories and a desire to be just like you in so many ways.
