Farewell, Eric Hill

Our deepest condolences go out to Carol Hill and her family on the loss of her son Eric ten days ago.

Eric & Garth Brooks Junior (Eric is the one in the Harley shirt!)

Carol and her (adult) children have been stalwart friends of the NTDO and of Democrats in DuPage County for many years.  Carol has served the NTDO in various capacities from as far back as the 1990’s and she, Stacia and Eric have been joyous and energetic participants at meetings, parades and other celebrations and events throughout the years.  Our prayers and best wishes go out to you in this difficult time.

This obituary appeared in the Daily Herald:

NAPERVILLE – Eric Hill lost his battle with cancer on Jan. 9, 2015 and has gone to heaven. Eric, son of Carol (nee Prueter) and Curtis Hill, was born May 27th, 1964 in Beverly, MA. He was a longtime resident of the IAG managed Sandy Bluff group home in Sandwich, and an employee of Open Door Workshop, also in Sandwich.

He is survived by his mom, Carol Hill of Naperville and Curt Hill of Naples, FL. His loving brother and sister, Curtis Hill of El Sobrante, CA and Stacia Hill of Lisle, IL. Also, his adored nephews Christopher and Marek Kozina, Adam Hill and his niece Allison Hill.

He was a sweet, gentle soul who loved motorcycles, especially Harley Davidsons, trucks, trains, football, music and most of all people. And all who knew him loved him. He will be missed by friends and relatives alike. We were all blessed to have him with us for 50 years.

A memorial service celebrating Eric’s life will be held in the Garden Chapel of Christ Church of Oak Brook, at 31st and York Rd. on Saturday Jan. 24, 2015 at 3pm. Gifts honoring Eric’s life may be sent to the Eric Hill Memorial Trust in c/o Individual Advocacy Group, 1289 Windham Parkway, Romeoville, IL 60446.
