Peter William Hill

Peter was a Legend, a strong disability advocate, and a dedicated former fellow colleague of mine during our workdays with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.

I was fortunate to see Peter in the office arriving by his trusty bicycle in the deep fresh snow with a radiant smile and morning pleasantries over coffee before opening shop. The dude was well versed in, without being political...a plethora of knowledge and damn accurate information upon his findings to back his debate. In the many years we worked together or hung-out socially, Peter always had that signature smile making some of my darkest days become light. Peter...May the Four Winds Blow You Safely Home.

Oh Peter! I miss you and all our fun times we had at the DVA!!!! You´ll be missed! Sincerely, Shanna Lea

I've known Peter for years through online communication and only now realized he'd passed away. I learned so much from him and respected his perspective and his advocacy incredibly. May he rest in peace and find shelter in eternity.

I never met Peter in real life, which is something I will continue to regret. There are only so many passionate & talented people in the world, Peter was one of the truly special ones.

Peter was a moderator for thebreakroom.org for many years after he left Target. He was a kind & fair person who challenged norms, offering a sympathetic ear but wasn't afraid to wield the "ban hammer" during moderation. He was widely respected by many in the breakroom community for his experience & worldview, a champion for those overlooked & 'othered'.
As a friend we shared much about our respective families. He offered comfort for my family's losses & understanding while we dealt with a handicapped child. I followed his joys of time spent with his daughters when he moved from the east coast back to Alaska & the challenges of his job finding employment & services for those with disabilities.
He was a force to be reckoned with & will be sorely missed.

He wrote an epic ballad that I would like to put to music.

Met him through a friend of a friend. We were friends for over a decade. He saw me through the ups and downs of grad school. He was always a voice of reason, hope, and support. I will miss him.

He was one of my best friends. (We were each other's groomsmen)
I took a trip to see him in Alaska a few years ago. Too short.
Wish we could have had more time together.

He was a very good person. Big heart. Great human.
So many that enjoyed his words and company.
Poet, hero, romantic and so much more.

I was so sorry to learn of Peter's death. Though I'd met him only a few times, he had a kind and gentle spirit. My heart goes out to all of his family. Kathy Lundquist (Katz)

We are always grateful to hear of a life lived with moral courage. I hope this lifts you a bit through your pain. Sending wishes of love and strength for James and Taryn, Peter´s family and friends during this time of greiving Love Angie and Steve
