John Ray Hills
John Hills passed away peacefully on Sunday December 3, 2023 at Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay Ontario. We are grateful to his medical team for their kindness and care.
John was born February 16, 1945, one of seven children to Kenneth and Viola Hills (Ted, Eric, Gwen, John, Don, Janet and Jerry) in Orono, Ontario. He enjoyed the company of his siblings throughout his life. John attended Clarke High School and worked a number of jobs before he found his career as Production Foreman at St. Mary’s Cement in Bowmanville, Ontario.
John retired early in the year 2000 but he wasn’t idle. He volunteered regularly for the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and did trail restoration through the Ontario Federation of Snowmobilers Club. He was also active in the South Central Ontario Big Game Association where he did deer rescue. John was most proud of his volunteer service to the Canadian Blood Services. He donated blood 147 times and was recently recognized for this life giving service.
John loved to be outdoors and in the bush. He was an avid hunter and enjoyed his hunting trips with friends over the years. He continued to express his love of the outdoors at his home in Janetville at Fleetwood Estates where he not only cut his lawn and blew out his own driveway, but he also did the same work for his neighbours who he considered his second family.
John was a proud father to his son Ron (Shawn), grandfather to Zac (Jackie), Olivia (Tyler) and Simon, great-grandfather to Ava and he was looking forward to the arrival of two more great-granddaughters in 2024.
John was predeceased by his parents, brother Jerry, sister Janet and brother Ted.
A celebration of life will be held at Morris Funeral Chapel in Bowmanville on Friday December 15, 2023. Visitation from 11am-1pm, short service at 1pm with a reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Canadian Blood Services at blood.ca in his name.
