Edina - Peter Grey Hill passed away peacefully on the evening of June 8, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Peter was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey on December 8, 1949 to William and Jeanne Hill. Peter was raised in Willingboro, New Jersey with his younger brother Marlin. Peter attended the University of Miami for one year, and finished his undergraduate education at Ryder University. He worked in accounting for a few years and then went back to get his law degree at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul. Peter was a beloved husband to Cindy (nee Eidnes), as well as a devoted father to six children and twelve grandchildren who enjoyed his wisdom and kindness even as communication became more difficult for him over the years. Peter was known to be an excellent lawyer, practicing both in-house at local corporations, and in law firms. He loved practicing law and his clients were all very appreciative of his intellect and tenacity in his representation of them. Peter opted to start his own practice in the early 2000's. He was enjoying that style of work until he was unexpectedly forced to retire due to the effects of a serious stroke in July of 2006. Peter enjoyed golfing and gardening, and was a long-time member of a wine tasting club made up of good friends with a passion for good wine. He was also an accomplished chef who loved hosting dinner parties, barbecues and an annual chili party. Peter was preceded in death by his mother and father. He is survived by his wife Cindy, and children Peter Hill Jr. (Jane Anne), Marcie Hill (David King), Holly Hill, Sarah Kotrba (Kory), Merrill Knain (Brad) and Will Hill.
