October 14, 1939 �" July 12, 2014
Lowell Oliver Hills died peacefully Saturday morning, July 12, 2014, at the Ray Hickey Hospice House in Vancouver, Washington. A longtime resident of San Francisco, Lowell was well known for his good looks, dry wit, independent spirit, and love of chocolate. He had lived for a time in London and traveled widely throughout Europe.
After settling in San Francisco, Lowell was employed in retail grocery produce services and more recently managed residential property on Corbett Street. An unrepentant tinkerer and lover of British sports cars, perhaps his favorite project was his red 1979 MG of which he was the original and sole owner.
Lowell is survived by his sister, Colleen Wilson, who provided loving care in his final months; niece and nephew, Kristen and Michael Bommarito; and dear friends, John and Marilyn Chalstrom, Bill and Charlene Duchie, Charlie Glenn and Marshall Stockton, Matt McCabe and Charlie Wilson, and Lowell Norris. Lowell requested no services and that his ashes be scattered along the coast near Jenner, California. Donations in his memory may be made to Maitri Compassionate Care, 401 Duboce Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94117.
