Always loved seeing Kay walk through the door, always friendly, talkative and a pure pleasure to be around. Our condolences, thoughts & prayers are with his family.

My husband knew Kay thru his work at Kenworth. Rick always spoke very highly of Kay, even when Kay would chew his butt for making a mistake, but all in all, they had great respect for each other. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. You have our deepest sympathy.

I learned about the man, Kay Hill, first indirectly from his sisters and then daughter and her family, but the honor of meeting him and spending time with Kay came the summer of 2015. I so dearly loved our coffee and bagel times together often sitting outside just to talk quietly about life and the things that life brings. The statement "He never met a stranger, and he would drop everything to help" is so very true. He would just sit and listen to me. He helped!!!
A remarkable man that I will truly miss. One of my greatest regrets in moving from CR was the time I could not spend with Kay.
But seeing him earlier this summer at a wedding and introducing him to my wife was a great moment. She too could see immediately how great of man Kay was.
He will be with me always.

I was introduced to Kay by my father-in-law, Gene Northrop, when Kay flew into Stanhope to farm. We only had a few conversations, but he was truly remarkable. You knew after a few minutes he had talent, and although he was well aware of that, he made you feel like you were both on the same level. He was an incredible person.

My husband and I, along with my mother, Maralyn Hudson, want to express our sadness at the passing of Kay. We were proud to have him as a relative as he was a hard worker, successful yet humble, and giving. Please take care.

My condolences to the family of Kay. I got to know him, Kent and the Williams brothers when they hauled for LeFebure and I was the shipping foreman. I always enjoyed our conversations. I occasionally stopped at the shop on Saturday mornings with my young son for a Cream Soda and Kay gave my son a ride in a Kenworth he still remembers. Another glimpse of this remarkable man was when I heard they bought an airplane to get to the farms faster, and this was BEFORE they got their pilot's licenses!! Truly a gifted and generous man.

Carlton Peterson, My brother, sent us Kay's obituary this afternoon.
He received it from his daughter, Holly, as she received word from Eldon Hill.
It's been very important to me to keep some sort of connection with the Hill family, I'm remembering the many Hill reunions through the years.
Up until our recent move, I have kept the family tree current. My information has been given to Holy and Sasha, Carlton's daughters. This obituary will certainly be added to the Hill information they now possess.
Blessings and Peace to you all. Georgianne Peterson Schreiber, and Jack

I first met Kay & Kent in 1965. I was working at a competing gas station, but my boss, Tom Vesey, was good friend of the brothers, so we collaborated on the winter service calls that filled the winter days. Whenever I pulled into Hill Bros Standard, Kay was like the fuse in the circuit. All was well - nothing was wrong, ever! The old saying to make gold from mud pies was always evident around Kay! His curly locks never looked combed, but were a part of who he was! A positive man, secure in his walk in life. Would have loved to have spent more time with him. Never forget the man who imprinted on us all.
