Thomas (Tom) Hill, 77, of Westerville, passed away on Wednesday, November 26, 2025 at OSU Medical Center.
Born July 3, 1948 in Columbus, Ohio to the late Esther Kling Hill and Wilford Hill, he was one of four children, all of whom preceded him in death. He is survived by his loving wife of 19 years, Paula; his stepson, Matthew (Erin) Bender; stepdaughter, Hannah (Xiao) Yao and cherished grandsons, Miles, Ellington, Jack, and Isaac.
Tom was a graduate of Ohio University and an army veteran. He had a long career in small business banking beginning at Central Trust Bank in Newark followed by 20+ years at Chase Bank and 10 years at Huntington Bank.
Tom loved a good laugh, spending time outdoors, evenings on the porch and OSU sports. Although the last three years became increasingly difficult for him his glass was always half full. He will be dearly missed.
His family will hold a private celebration of life gathering at a later date.
