1943-2025

Charles W. “Chuck” Hill, 82, founder of Heartland Motor Coach, went home peacefully to be with his heavenly father on May 15, 2025.

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 22, 1943, Chuck settled in Maryville, Missouri where he met his wife, Connie Long, at Northwest Missouri State University while completing his B.S. in Political Science. He started a career in the tire industry working in sales for both Armstrong and Pirelli Tires and opening Hill’s Tire Center in 1976. In 1986, Chuck began Heartland Motor Coach out of his basement in Maryville. He moved the company to St. Joseph, Missouri where he eventually sold it and retired in 2014. Soon after, he and Connie moved to Wichita, Kansas to be closer to family.

Chuck leaves behind his wife Connie, children Angela (Danny) Bushey and Brian Hill, grandson Matthew Butterworth, brother Doug (Pamela) Hill, and sister-in-law Carol (Gary) Shaw along with many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Chuck is preceded in death by his father, W.C. Hill and his mother, Dorothy L. Crosby Hill.

The family wishes to express their deepest thanks to Regent Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare and Harry Hynes Hospice for their loving kindness, care, and support for Chuck.
