Nathaniel (Nate) Hill, 78, of Lancaster, OH, died Thursday, April 24th, at the Pickering House, after a courageous battle with cancer.
He retired as a Lt.

Nate continued to be involved in many military-related organizations throughout his retirement including founder and president of the national TAC Tankers Association, past president of the Retired Armed Forces Association and Olivedale Veterans. His last military assignment was commander of the induction center at Fort Hayes in Columbus. He began his second career in the already established Hills Fabrics and Sewing Machines Store where he worked side-by-side with his family for over 15 years serving Fairfield County in various organizations and contributing to the community he loved. Among those were Kiwanis and the Masonic Lodge. In addition he was a very active member at First United Methodist church where he gave generously of himself.
Natalie, his wife of 12 years, survives him along with his children Holly Siegel, Margie (Roger) Donnell and Nate Hill (Cliff Wynne); stepchildren Robyn (Dana) Dewitt, Randi (Jim) Pinkepank, and Roy Clement along with eight step-grandchildren.
