Hill died April 11, 2016, peacefully at his home. He was a man of many talents and interests, and had a long, happy life of commitment.
After graduating from North Shore Country Day School in Winnetka, Ill., he enlisted in the Air Force and served as bombardier on a B-24 in the South Pacific for the last two years of the war. After the war, Hill graduated in June 1949 with a degree in economics.
After graduation he worked for various advertising agencies, including his own. Hill retired from the advertising business in 1981 and moved to the mountains near Steamboat Springs, Colo.
During his retirement, he created wonderful sculptures using wood, stone, plaster, and welded and cast metals as his media. Several of his pieces are on display in Steamboat.
Hill is survived by his beloved partner, Boo Ross; three children; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
