Uncle Tommy was my mother's brother. I have great memories of their visits to Florida and our visits to New Jersey. He was such a loving, kind person. He is dancing in heaven with my mom (his sister) and dad. What a beautiful tribute today. Love and prayers to all of my family.
Carolyn Hills Wilcox left a message on September 12, 2022:
Tommy is my brother. I love him very much. He was 15 years older than I, so I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him. During the time I did spend with him, and remember, he was never unkind, always had a ready smile, and always gave his little sisters a helping hand. Heaven has gained another angel. Rest In peace Tommy. Carolyn Hills Wilcox

My most sincere condolences to the family, extended family, and the members of the Whitman Square Fire Co. Chief Hills was a legendary Fire Chief, with his southern drawl and mild mannered ways. I always enjoyed hearing his "war stories from back in the day" Chief Hills was the last of a generation of great people, he will be missed by all of us. Gary Sklar, Life Member Grenloch Fire Co.

My condolences to Joan, Sharon and the rest of the family. I was 18 years old when I first served under Tom’s leadership when he was the chief of WSVFD and that was 52 years ago. Tom, Rest In Peace you did a great job for the community and country. Thank you Chuck Whitby
