He eventually moved to LaGrange, Georgia to repair televisions for Sears. Later he took ownership of Van Houten Television Repair also in Lagrange. Changes in television technology redirected his career into the maintenance field for several LaGrange industries.

Jimmy was a quick study. He became great at anything he set out to do. He built four homes and enjoyed a cabinetry hobby alongside his brother, Ed, for many years.

He square danced with LaGrange Shufflers then later in life he picked up golfing. He landed a “Hole in One” at Indian Pines in Auburn, Alabama on July 14, 2011. As his life slowed down, you could find him twice a week in LaFayette at Jack's playing Mexican Train Dominoes with an outstanding group of men who became some of his best friends.

Jimmy had many talents and enjoyed using his wood lade to craft pens that he would give to people who made a difference in his life. if you have one, treasure it as he treasured you.

Jimmy Hill is definitely one ray of sunshine that will live long years after his walk on this earth has ended. Never did you see him that he did not have that quiet smile and treated you like you were the only person in the room. His love for the Lord Jesus truly showed in his life. It was good to know him from 1954 with a gap of time and then became friends again in 2013 at Center Baptist Church. Jimmy and Jimmie Sue aretreasures!!!
