John Blythe H. Hill

Jack & Irene were married July 3/1954 and continued to be sweethearts for 70 years, most recently living together at 7 Oaks Nursing Home. Jack started on the Toronto Fire Department in August 1957 and retired April 1996, a phenomenal 39 years on the job he loved. Jack’s passion other than his family, was hockey, he was in the Chicago Blackhawks farm system in the early 50’s and went on to play and Coach the Toronto Fire Department A hockey team for many years. Jack was also the Vice President on the Southern Ontario Fire Fighters hockey league for several years.

Jack leaves behind an incredible legacy, his family he loved dearly. His sweetheart and wife of 70 years, Irene Hill. His pride & joy, his daughter Rhonda Bregstein (Marcel Bregstein & Elayne Bassett), his son John Hill (Victoria Hill) (retired TFS Captain). Granddaughters, Tanya Bregstein, Jessica Bregstein, RaShelle Chapman ( Victor Chapman), Amy Hill ( Brody Lord). Grandson Andrew Martin ( Kimberley Werkman). Great Grandsons, Jonah Bregstein, Cole Martin, Christian Martin and Cruz Chapman.

Kudos and Thank you to Susan Edge, Dr. Hoffman and the incredible nursing staff at 7 Oaks and Scarborough Centenary Hospital for taking such great care of Jack and helping him many times!

Jack will be sorely missed and cherished by so many.

A Celebration of Jack’s Life will be held in 2025!
