John Hill Obituary

Mr. John R. Hill, 72, died Tuesday, February 1, 2022, in the Community Medical Center in Toms River, New Jersey.

Mr. Hill, the son of the late Mary Beattie Hill and the late Henry Hill was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey.  He resided in Perth Amboy, New Jersey for twenty-four years before relocating to Whiting, New Jersey twenty years ago.

Mr. Hill was employed as a welder and polisher for many years for Stain-Rail Systems in Metuchen, New Jersey, a metal products fabricator.

In his spare time, Mr. Hill thoroughly enjoyed watching the New York Yankees play baseball and the New York Giants take to the football field.  As an avid reader of Coin World, he was very knowledgeable about all types of coins and Mr. Hill spent hours looking and researching coins to determine their possible value.

Cruz and her husband, Daniel and Barbara A. Rivera and her husband, Michael; his four grandchildren, Matthew Rivera, Jonathan Rivera, Jayden Cruz and Ava Cruz and his brother-in-law, Louis Capo and his wife, Donna.

With respect to Mr. Hill’s wishes, all his services were private. 

The family, as they are trying to cope with his loss, ask that you please keep Mr. Hill in your prayers.  He was loved very much and will forever remain in everyone’s hearts
