Edward Charles Hill, QC “Ted” 1931 - 2022
With a sense of relief that his pain has ended, the family of Ted announce his passing on August 4 at Ross Memorial Hospital, Lindsay. Ted Hill, in his 91st year, had recently celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary with his beloved wife Mary, along with family and friends at their home on Pigeon Lake outside of Bobcaygeon. In addition to Mary, Ted is survived by his three children and their families: Cathy Puffer (Mike) of Lindsay, Ted Hill (Nancy Burnham) of Ohio and Doug Hill (Nancy Risebrough) of Toronto. Proud Papa to James and Marin Puffer, Sarah, Nathan and Ryan Hill, and Spencer and Malcolm Hill. Brother of Sally Jones (Ron) of Oakville and the late Nancy Hill, and brother-in-law to Alan Lanktree (the late Maxine) of Orangeville. He will also be missed by many nieces and nephews.
Ted was the son of Edward and Helen Hill of Toronto. Following graduation from Osgoode Hall Law School law school, he established a successful and longstanding legal practice in Lindsay in 1959. He and Mary raised their family in Lindsay and were active in the community throughout their years, as well as enjoying as much time as possible at their second home on Pigeon Lake. A generous and supportive member of the community, Ted served as a volunteer with numerous organizations throughout his life, including the Academy Theatre, Fleming College Board of Governors, the Lindsay Chamber of Commerce, Children’s Aid Society and Kawartha Region Conservation Authority. A lover of nature and the outdoors, he spent many happy years hunting, sailing, fishing, golfing, gardening, painting and travelling far and wide with Mary and friends. A celebration of Ted’s life will take place at Cambridge Street United Church, Lindsay on Tuesday August 9 visitation to begin at 12:30 until time of the service at 2:00pm. A private burial will be held at Verulam Cemetery, Bobcaygeon. To honour Ted’s memory, donations can be directed to the Kawartha Land Trust or the Fleming College Student Bursary Program.
Ted’s family members wish to express their deep gratitude to Dr. Graham Loeb and Sherry Giltenan, as well as all medical staff and organizations that provided wonderful care for many years.
