September 29, 1930 - January 16, 2021
Gordon Hill passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 16th, 2021 at Roberta Place Long Term Care in Barrie, Ontario. Predeceased by his parents Gordon and Ruth Hill, his brother Bill Hill (Mona), sister Ruth (James Henderson), and Sarah (Douglas Sinclair). Although Gordon never married, he was a beloved uncle and his memory will live on through his many nieces and nephews; Iain Henderson, Sean Henderson, Lynn Hill, Susan Hill Mueller, Steven Hill, Bill Hill, Mike Sinclair, James Sinclair, Tim Sinclair and their many children. Gordon will be fondly remembered for his love of life and his wonderful sense of humour. Even though his body was failing, his mind was sharp and it was a joy to talk and laugh with him. Gordon was a devoted veterinarian who enjoyed a long and fulfilling career at Brown’s Animal Hospital in Don Mills, Ontario. During his lifetime he loved to travel the world but one of his favourite places was the family cottage on Kahshe Lake in Muskoka. He enjoyed many hours sitting in his favourite chair viewing the lake or floating on the water on his air mattress. The family would like to thank the dedicated and caring staff at Roberta Place LTC where Gordon lived for the past 3 years. The staff made a huge difference in the quality of Gordon’s life during his time there and he was always quick to say that he was well cared for and that the staff were the best. He loved to share a joke along with a treat with everyone who entered his room. As per Gordon's request, there will be no funeral. Burial and a family celebration of life will be held at a later date. As a remembrance, donations may be made to:
