re: Walter Hill has died in Lafayette
Posted by masters508 on 4/22/14 at 8:09 pm to MetryTyger
As Walter's youngest son let me add to what my brother posted earlier today by adding my thanks to all the Ranters who have posted since his death,
He told me many times how fortunate he felt being associated with LSU, and how much he appreciated the passion and the vigor of the LSU football fans.
All of you can rest assured he knew of you, through our many discussions about this site, and he always got a chuckle when I would read to him your posts after many games.
My mother and my brother are humbled by your comments and your well wishes.
Thank you
Steve Hill

re: Who here remembers Sid Crocker ?
Posted by masters508 on 1/26/14 at 5:33 pm to vjp819
As a kid and until his death, Sid and his wife Barbra were close friends of my parents, Walter and Sue Hill. I use to "spot" LSU football games for my father's radio broadcast with John Ferguson. In those days after each game my folks, the Crokers and all the kids would get behind my Dad's Pontiac staionwagon cause they could lower the "tailgate" and it made the perfect bar. We would talk about the game until the traffic cleared out then my Dad would meet coach Mac at WBRZ later to do his show using tape from the game. There were many nights my Dad and I would not get home until 3 or 4 in the morning depending on the development machine they used in those days.
After they both retired the Crockers and the Hills traveled together and fished together for many years.
It was a great life.

I'm happy to report Walter Hill is still alive and kick'in living just north of Lafayette. I'm his youngest son and I live in Pineville. Tiger fams will be happy to know he still bleeds purple and gold and we talk after every game. His health is not good but he's the only one left of what I use to call "The Big 3", my dad, John and Sid Crocker. Sid passed away a year or 2 before John. You may also remember my father would put together "The Charlie McClendon Show" while working at WBRZ. I can remember as a kid him doing the broadcast, going back to the television station staying all night editing film, they used that in those days, and having the program ready for McClendon who would arrive at 6 a.m the next morning to tape the show. The tape of that would then go out by bus to the various cities across the state who carried the show. Those were the days when "tailgating" for us was a bottle of Jack Daniels, 7Up, and a bag of chips.
