William John "Bill" Hill, age 80, of Hastings, MI, dearly beloved father, brother, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2023 after a long hard-fought battle with dementia. Born February 6, 1943, he was a cherished member of the family and leaves behind a legacy of devout faith, tireless work ethic, and boundless love.
Bill was a 1961 graduate of Delton-Kellogg High School. He was a loyal employee of Bradford White for over 38 years.
Bill was active in his community, serving on the Board at Welcome Corners Methodist Church in Hastings. His service to the church was a testament to his deep faith and love for his community. As a hobby, he loved nature - hunting, fishing, and tending to his favorite roses and all kinds of flowers in his garden. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, his most treasured of all being his propensity to help others.
He is survived by his daughters, Tammy Molette and Teressa (Dennis) Lancaster, siblings, Harold (Julie) Hill, Linda Noyes and Betty (Bill) Rozell, sister-in-law Linda Hill. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren who will miss him dearly.
