and dear friends.
First in his class, George served in the Canadian Naval
Forces.
He later started a trucking company, George Hill Cartage,
also known as Hill Trucking and is compassionately remembered as
someone who would help any driver in need.
George was a pillar in the Cambridge sports community. He was
involved in Minor Hockey, Ringette and Baseball as coach and umpire.
He also was involved in the start-up of Cambridge Minor Football. He
sponsored many youths who could not afford to play sports and
volunteered may hours coaching, refereeing, or driving to games and
tournaments. The eponymous ‘George Hill Team of Year
Award’ was created to commemorate his contributions and
dedication to the youth sports.
In the past 14 years he travelled each year to Ben Hoi
Vietnam where he met his loving wife, Ngoc Ly, and added to his family
5 stepchildren and 4 grandchildren. He loved the Vietnamese culture
and made many new
friends.
In retirement he loved to drive around in his Model A car and
was proud to drive in the Hespeler Christmas Parades, with his last
one being in 2019 that he shared with his grandchildren. A sport
enthusiast, he thoroughly enjoyed watching his games on TV and reading
the newspaper. He will be missed terribly and remembered fondly with
love.
Special thanks to Hospice Wellington in Guelph for the loving
care and compassion they provided to George in his last 6 weeks.
