Kenneth "Ken" Benjamin Hill, 94, formerly of East Haven, CT passed away Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at the Rainey Hospice House in Anderson, SC.

He was the devoted husband of 69 years to Elizabeth "Betty"
Suraci Hill who preceded him in death in March of 2015. Loving father of Joan (Michael) Siswick of Lansdale, PA, Carol Gennett of Greensboro, NC, Susan (Kenneth )McDermott of North Wales, PA and Lori (Laszlo) Solymosi of Pendleton, SC. Devoted grandfather to Michelle (Stuart) Gauffreau, Rebecca (John) Graham, Zachary (Zoe) Siswick, Brendan (Sandra) McDermott, Hillary Solymosi, and Meghan (Luke) Puglia. Great grandfather to Jerry Bellows, Julia and Ryan Gauffreau and Liam McDermott. Great great grandfather to Leila and Max Bellow. Brother to deceased siblings Albert, Evelyn, Wesley, Raymond, Bernice and Lillian.

Ken was born in New Haven, CT on July 16, 1921, son of Albert and Grace Guest Hill. He served in the Army in World War II in the Infantry as a Private First Class. He was a retired machinist.

Ken took great pride and joy in his family. He was happiest when surrounded by his children and grandchildren. He loved taking long morning walks for many years before it was a trend. He was an avid woodworker and loved making furniture and gifts for his family. Later on in life, he was a self-taught woodcarver known for his wonderful Santas.

He always had a smile on his face and was loved by everyone who knew him. His sense of humor was intact till the end. He continued in a family joke routine when he was asked, "what's new Dad?" he would reply with a grin, "New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire".

We are comforted by his faith that he is in heaven with his dear wife Betty.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Hospice of the Upstate 1835 Rogers Road, Anderson, SC 29621.
