Robert P. Hill, 96, of Plant City, and formerly of Manchester, N.H., died Sept. 5, 2014, in a Plant City nursing home.
He was born in Manchester, N.H., to the late Arthur and Adeline Hill and was married to the love of his life, the late Rena R. (Dubois) Hill.
During World War II, Mr. Hill served as a flight line mechanic, and he worked in the automobile business for many years before finishing his career as a driver education instructor and owner of Drive Right Auto School.
Hunting, fishing and the outdoors were all favorite pastimes, but golf was his passion.

He is survived by four sons, Douglas G. Hill, of Sugarbush Key, Robert P. Hill Jr., of Ocala, Arthur N. Hill, of Lake Wales, and James B. Hill, of Henniker, N.H.; nine grandchildren; and 16 great-grandchildren.
A graveside service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Pine Grove Cemetery, Manchester, N.H. Family and friends are asked to meet at the north gate on Calef Road at 10 a.m. A gathering and buffet will follow the service.
