Randy Scott Hill
July 29, 1957 - January 24, 2017

With family at his side, Randy Scott Hill, 59, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, January 24, 2017, at his home in Georgetown, Texas, after an almost two-year courageous battle with cancer.

Randy was born on July 29, 1957, to Roger H. and Dorothy L. (Anderson) Hill at the Forest City Community Hospital. Baptized and confirmed at the Center Lutheran Church, rural Lake Mills, Randy graduated from Forest City Community Schools in 1975 and then from Waldorf College.

Randy worked as a Service Manager for Gary Tharp Ford, as a Mechanical Engineer for Winnebago Industries, in the Warranty Department for Ruan Trucking in Des Moines, and most recently as the Senior Mechanical Engineer for Applied Rigaku Technologies, Inc., in Austin, Texas. The Ragaku Company develops analytic X-ray technology spectrometers for elemental analyses in the mining and refining of petroleum as well as for similar analyses of foods and cosmetics. His work, even, required him to travel to Germany and Japan. Obviously, he loved his work and his co-workers.

A member of the Crestview Baptist Church in Georgetown, Texas, Randy taught Sunday school and sang in the church choir. Church Pastor Dan Wooldridge and Minister of Music Dan May conducted a Recognition of Life service for Randy on January 29, 2017.

Randy enjoyed coming home to Iowa for family gatherings and reunions with old friends. He loved following baseball and other sports, attending music concerts, and volunteering to help the homeless and less fortunate. He will, certainly, be missed by everyone who knew and loved him, but we find comfort knowing he is pain free and home with the Lord.

He is survived by his parents, Roger and Dorothy Hill, of Leland; his siblings, Dr. Larry D. (Dr. Becky) Hill, of Thompson, and Debra Buffington, of Forest City; six nieces and nephews, Bradley (Stephanie) Buffington, Brian (Tora) Buffington, Carrie (Alex) Carris, Dr. Christopher Hill, Jennifer (Jason) Sheehan, and Stephanie (Juan) Bernal; sixteen great-nieces and nephews: Laura, Hannah, Jacob, Alyssa, Caleb, Carson, Connor, Cole, Samantha, Tyler, Natalie, Casey, Benjamin, Gabriel, Carter, and Elijah. Randy is preceded in death by grandparents, Jester and Viola Hill and Gilmer and Annette Anderson.

A gathering of friends and family will take place from 1:00 to 2:30 PM on Saturday, April 15, 2017, at the Cataldo Schott Funeral Chapel in Forest City, Iowa. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 2:30 PM at the funeral chapel with Pastor Wayne Halverson officiating, followed by a family committal at the West Prairie Lutheran Church cemetery, rural Leland, Iowa. Memorials may be directed to the family.
