David Ellis Sill

David was born to the late Jacob Thornwell and Geraldine Houk Sill on December 21, 1950. He served our country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. In his spare time, David enjoyed Nascar Racing, riding motorcycles, playing the bass guitar, and listening to music. He also enjoyed working on classic cars, especially Camaros.
