A graduate of the University of Memphis School of Law, Hill was an avid supporter of Memphis football, basketball and baseball, was a member of the Highland Hundred and served on the athletic department’s Scholarship Endowment Board. In addition, through his charitable giving, the Thompson-Hill Chair of Accounting was endowed at the business school. Hill was a certified public accountant and chief financial officer at the investment firm UMIC. For more than 20 years following his retirement, he and his wife served each year at the Jordanian Bedouin Medical Hospital. Services were held last week. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Bernard Hill Missions Fund, First Evangelical Church, 735 Ridge Lake Blvd., Memphis, TN 38120.
