Thomas L. Hill, 83 yrs. old of Utica, NY passed away at home on August 16, 2021 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. 

Mr. Hill was born on March 19, 1938 in New Berlin, NY the son of Burton and Dorothy Hill.  Thomas spent his childhood years growing up and helping on the family farm.  He attended New Berlin Central School where he met his future spouse, Sherryl White whom he married in 1966 in Oneonta, NY.  He eventually retired from farming and other various jobs. 

Thomas and Sherryl went on to have 3 children of their own; a son, Michael Hill of Utica, NY, and daughters; Laura Sherman and Gloria Smith, both of Oneonta, NY.

Mr. Hill was a very kind and compassionate person who enjoyed a very simple everyday life and had a heart big enough to love anyone and anything that came into it.  But, his absolute greatest passion and love was the love and time well spent with his son, Mike Hill.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 27, 2021 at 2:00 PM at the Dakin Funeral Home, LP, New Berlin, NY with pastor Judy McCall officiating.
