Obituary of William Ian Hill

At LHSC, University Hospital, London on Friday August 21, 2015, William "Ian" Hill of Clinton. Ian was born 65 years ago at the Clinton Hospital and was the son of the late William "Curly" and Ena (Johnston) Hill. He was the beloved husband, best friend, and soul mate of Lil (Colendres) Hill, whom he married on November 1st, 1997. He was also the loving father of Lian Hill, step-father of Joseph Lagasca and grandfather of Ian Joshua Lagasca from the Philippines. He was the dear brother and brother-in-law of Patrick & Alva Hill, Bruce Hill and Victor Hill, all of whom reside in Summerhill. Ian attended high school at Central Huron Secondary School and pursued a paralegal course through a correspondence school while working. Ian was a hard-working man with a variety of jobs. He bartended at the Cloud Nine, helped at the Piano Factory, worked at CAP Products, was a sales associate at Zellers and Walmart, and most recently assisted at Lil's Kitchen making every diner welcome. He was an avid reader, loved to watch old movies, and his new favorite musical movie was Mama Mia. He was a fan of Star Wars, Star Trek and the History Channel. He also liked the show Hawaii 5-0. He attended the Heartland Community Church and was a supporter of a few charitable organizations on behalf of his wife Lil. Ian's dream was to become a lawyer, though that dream never did come through for him, he was awarded with a much bigger "dream come true", a loving family, a dedicated wife, and a sweet natured daughter. He lived a life full of love, laughter and joy with his family and friends. Ian's unwavering faith sustained him through all the days of his life. He was once called a "miracle man" by a few doctors, and proved some other doctors wrong with their diagnosis. His faith to the Lord was strongest during his challenging times when he was sick and weak. And now, the Lord has welcomed him with open arms and he is spending his eternal life in God's paradise. We will see you again Ian. Cremation has taken place.
