Richard David Hill, age 90, of New York City, NY, passed away peacefully surrounded by the ones he laughed with, lived for, and loved on Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at White Horse Village, Newtown Square, PA.

He is survived by his children, Peter Christopher (Beth), Tracy Elizabeth and Roger Duncan (Jennifer). He was a devoted grandfather and leaves behind three granddaughters: Emma Virginia, Molly Jane, and Corey Elizabeth.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the members of the Skilled Nursing Staff at White Horse Village.
