Richard Walter Hills

Richard Walter Hills passed away on Sunday, August 18th 2024 at the age of 76 after a long, brave battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He passed peacefully in his home, surrounded by his loving family. Richard was born in Newburyport, MA. He grew up in Byfield and later settled in Georgetown for most of his life where he and his wife raised their family. He was a lifelong machinist at General Electric. He enjoyed the beach, metal detecting, the White Mountains, wrestling and spending time with his family.

He lived with his wife in Salisbury, MA when his health began to decline. She rendered the appropriate services so that he could live out his remaining time in his home with the care of in-home hospice as well as his wife and children.
