Joe Louis Hill, 78, transitioned from this earthly walk on September 15, 2014. Joe, fondly known as "Crabtree" to family and friends, lived life to the fullest. He traveled all over without restraint but a free spirit guided by the hand of the Lord, he didn't worry about tomorrow, for he knew what God's word said, "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."
Joe spent much of his adult traveling and living in Ohio, Harrisburg, PA, and Washington, DC. He was a "Mobile Mechanic," if it was broke or breaking he definitely could fix it!! Most of all Joe Hill was God… when he gave his life to the Lord and began his transformation, sanctification, and final relational transition process; this is one phrase he would boldly tell you…
So as his family we are now thankful to know that he is with God, one Spirit… He leaves us here to carry on life abundantly, his oldest daughter Judge Valarie A.
