While they came from very different backgrounds. their impressions on me as a child set an example of what a father. grandfather and man should be. My moms father was a lanky. fiery redheaded German who was as hardheaded as he was strong. Theodore Otto Herman Hill. or "Thunderhead" as he was more appropriately known. was born in 1899. His Prussian grandparents immigrated to the United States through Galveston in the early 1800s and settled in the growing German community in Texas to begin a new life. I remember him as being very set in his ways. very militaristic in his daily routines. He was meticulous in everything he did and as a result. he did most everything well.
