Schenectady- William A. Hiller Jr. “Bill”, a long-time resident of Schenectady, NY, and beloved father of his five children, passed away on April 25, 2020 after a courageous struggle following a stroke. He was 82.

In 1985, Bill moved to Milford, CT where he assumed the position of Regional Manager-Network Service. He took an early retirement, returning to Schenectady, as a means to allow himself and his children to spend precious time with his beloved ailing wife, Gail, who predeceased him in September 1992. Bill had a long-time appreciation for travel. In his early years, he would take evening drives through the country-side with his young family or spend weekends at the family camp on Galway Lake. As time passed, Bill enjoyed traveling the world and seeking new adventures. He never lost his love, however, of a simple vacation, drive through the country, or spending time with family and friends at a special location on Lake George. Bill is survived by his five children, Darlene (Robert, predeceased) Babin, Schenectady, NY, Patricia (David) Rayno, Clifton Park, NY, William (Mary), Webster, NY, Nancy, Jensen Beach, FL and George, Broadalbin, NY, five grandchildren, Victoria, Deidre, Erik, Cassidy, and Brandon, and one great granddaughter, Samantha.
