Dr. Earl Hill

Hill, Earl, MD 93 of Minneapolis, died April 11, 2013. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, who loved to sing and hum all day long and had a penchant for word puns that always got a chuckle. A consummate dedicated physician, he served the medical community for over 40 years. He was born in Minneapolis on October 1, 1919 and graduated North High School in 1936 at the age of 16. He went on to graduate 2nd in his class at the University of Minnesota Medical School in 1943, where he was inducted to the Alpha Omega Alpha honorary medical fraternity. He was a Captain in the U.S. Army Medical Corps during WWII where he toured Japan, the Phillipines, and New Guinea from 1943 to 1946. Upon returning from duty he served as Major in the Army Reserve. He joined the staff of Mount Sinai Hospital in 1951 and he served as Chief of Medicine in 1955 and Chief of Staff in 1961. He joined the staff of Abbott- Northwestern Hospital in 1986 and was given the honor of Emeritus member. Always a physician, he continued serving his profession at the Minneapolis VAMC from 1992 until he retired in 1996. In addition to his private internal medicine practice he was a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the U of MN Med School and Associate Editor of Modern Medicine for 14 years. He was an avid skier, sailor, and a real renaissance man who loved to read "the classics." He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Shirley; children, Carolyn (Mehrdad) Ameli, Marjorie (Rich) Cohen, Richard (Linda) Hill; grandchildren, Beverly Luther, Betty (Ben) Luther Hillman, David, Jeremy, Kaylee, and Michael Hill; great granddaughter Johanna.
