Hill, John “Jack” William
John “Jack” William Hill
John “Jack” William Hill passed away Sunday, March 27th, 2022 at the age of 90 years.
Jack was born on the family farm in the Buttress district on April 30th, 1931. He was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Ina; wife, Evelyn; son, Gordon; grandson, Norman; and sister, Vera McNutt. Jack is survived by his sons: Keith (Pat), Dwayne, Donald, Greg (Candace); as well as several grand and great-grandchildren. Jack farmed the family farm until 1982 when he and Evelyn moved to Moose Jaw, SK and became the caretakers at Willowdale Court, where they spent 34 years enjoying life and forming several long lasting friendships.
Jack was an avid curler and as he said a “fair weather golfer” where many more friendships were formed and flourished. Jack and his best friend Wayne Hall worked and played together and were members of the Elks for years. Jack was a good friend, a devoted husband, and a loving father who will be missed by friends and family. Jack and Evelyn went on quite a journey together starting at the farm, then retiring to Willowdale Court, and finally to Chateau St. Michael’s where after 64 years of marriage Evelyn left the journey. After Evelyn’s passing, Jack stayed for a brief time at Mulberry Estates before moving to West Park Crossing for additional care, and eventually finishing his journey at Providence Place.
On March 27th Jack passed peacefully with his family at his side. The caregivers that supported Jack went far above and beyond and the entire family is extremely grateful for all their care and compassion.
A Celebration of Jack’s Life will be held on Saturday, April 9th, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. in St. Andrew’s Social Hall, 60 Athabasca St E, Moose Jaw, SK. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Andrew Pratt Funeral Director 306-693-4550

Our deepest sympathies to Jack’s family. Jack and Ev have been honorary members of our family (Whip and Bea Young’s) for years and pre covid we always had a visit when we were in Moose Jaw. Have spent many hours together and he will be missed. Suppers at Wood Acres to coffee at A&W. Jack enjoyed joking with Nick especially when he was teasing my Dad. He was a good friend.
All our family are sending our love and condolences.
Diane, Nick, Stephen and Jamie VanderZande

My deepest sympathies to all the boys and their families! Jack was such a wonderful, fun man. My Mom, Marlene Stratton and Jack were distant cousins. I phoned Jack when my Mom passed away but he didn’t remember her. I have such fond memories of spending time with Jack, Evelyn and the boys on their farm and going boating and water skiing with them as a child. I would be so happy to see any of Jack’s sons if they are reading this. I am on Facebook
Love and Hugs to you all from Sheryl Kozub
My deepest sympathies to Jack and Evelyn’s so sons and their families. Jack was such a character and so much fun! My Mom was a distant cousin of Jack’s, Marlene Stratton. They kept in touch until my Mom’s passing. I have great childhood memories of coming to the farm and going water skiing with your family. You were all so nice. Your family also would come to visit us in Winnipeg. I would be so happy to connect again with any of Jack’s family again. I am on Facebook. Love and hugs to all of you. Your Dad was a very special man and will be missed by all who knew him. Sheryl Kozub
