Dear Uncle Walter
You will be missed by all of the extended Hill family. You lived your life with a quiet confidence and the gift of taking everything in stride. Your approach to life defined the word unflappable. Many of the condolences refer to you as gentle and as a gentleman – there is no better way to describe you. The Hill genes are strong and they live in in your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Thanks for showing all of your family the power of a gentle and caring soul. We are all better people because of you and your life.

Dear Hill Family,
I’m so sorry to have been told of Walters’ passing today by my mother Mary. He was such a kind and gentle man who I always enjoyed having a conversation with each time I saw him in Nobleton. I was speaking of him just the other day when talking to a new member of the area about all the old original families from Nobleton. He will sincerely be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
God Bless,
Ian Dinsdale and Family.
