Craig C. Hill
Craig C. Hill, age 91, of Lincoln and Bedford, passed away on May 6 after a many-year battle with multiple systems atrophy. He was supported during his illness by an amazing group of caregivers including Carol, Paula, Lisa, Gerry, and Vera.
Craig had many talents and was an architect, editor, inventor, poet, and translator of The Complete Fables of La Fontaine, widely praised as one of the most vivid and imaginative translations of the 17th-century fabulist ever produced.
Craig was born in San Antonio and attended the University of Texas and the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He and his wife of 62 years, Heather, resided in Lincoln for 44 years before moving to Bedford. They traveled extensively and often with groups of close friends and spent more than 30 summers with friends and family at their home in Truro.
Craig is survived by his wife Heather, daughter Amanda and her husband Kevin, son Matthew and his wife Lisa, son Thomas and his wife Emmanuelle, and grandchildren Malcolm, Hazel, Hannah, Hardy, Montgomery, and Calvin. He is also survived by his brother Roger Hill of San Antonio. Craig was also the brother of the late Marian Hill.
