Alton M. Hill Sr., the former chief of the Wake Forest University Police Department, died Monday of cardiac arrest at Forsyth Medical Center, a relative said. Hill was 73.
Alton "Mickey" Hill II of Winston-Salem said Thursday that his father was a loving husband and family man.
"He was just a great guy," Hill said of his father. "He was outgoing, and he would help anyone."
Alton Hill served as the WFU police chief from 1973 until the mid-1980s, said Regina Lawson, the current chief of the university police department. He began his career at Wake Forest as a patrol officer, according to a 1982 article about Hill in the Winston-Salem Journal.
He continued to work as a university administrator until he retired in June 2008.
"He was a very pleasant person and well liked by the students and staff at Wake Forest," Lawson said.
In 1982, Hill was elected president of the N.C. Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, an organization Hill helped create, Lawson said.
"He was always smiling, and he always had an upbeat, positive attitude," she said. "He was a compassionate person. He will be missed."
Hill also was a member of the International Association of Law Enforcement Administrators, the N.C. Law Enforcement Officers Association and the International Association of Credit Card Investigators.
During his retirement, he started his own book publishing company, and he served as treasurer of the Poindexter Descendants Association.
In 2010, he appeared in the premiere of "Paranormal State: The New Class," which aired Nov. 21, 2010, on the A&E TV network. The program focused on Hill's ancestors on his mother's side of their family.
Hill worked with the show's producers on the program, according to his website.
A year later, his company, Al Hill's Desktop Home Publishing Co., published "The Exciting Life and Times of Sheriff Gerald K. Hege."
Hege rose to national fame as the self-described toughest sheriff in the country before resigning after being convicted of two felonies. He served as the sheriff of Davidson County from 1994 to 2004.
In September 2003, Hege was indicted on 15 felony counts. The case included affidavits from more than 20 sheriff's officers and staff members accusing him of embezzling county money, driving at 150 mph or more on the interstate when there was no apparent emergency, using racial profiling to target minorities and inappropriately using county money on expenses for his family. He pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice. He was given a suspended sentence and placed on probation, which he completed in 2007.
Hege ran for Davidson County sheriff in 2010, but lost to incumbent Sheriff David Grice. Hege couldn't be reached Thursday to comment on Hill's death.
Hill's funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday at Huff Funeral Home in East Bend, according to his obituary.
