Ronald H. Hill, 79, of 50 Liberty St. West Carthage, died early Saturday morning, December 4, 2021 at his home in West Carthage, surrounded by his family.

Ronald was born August 22, 1942 in Lowville, a twin son of the late Dewey and Doris (Zehr) Hill. He attended Lowville Academy. He married the former Judith A.

Ron was a family man and enjoyed spending time with them and especially his granddaughter, Tori. He had a "heart of gold" and would help anyone. He truly loved his animals, taking care of his property, was a handyman who could fix and repair most everything and he was the true "MacGyver" in his family's eyes.
