  1. Best father in law ever..such a giving and kind man. He was ready to meet the Lord..looking forward to it. He will always be in my heart. Love you Dad, Lisa

  2. Dad you’ve said for a long time you are done, your body is worn out and you can’t do this and are ready to go. I know you suffered greatly 24 hrs. a day. Although I have spent my life helping people that are sick and injured and I know not everyone can be healed but this breaks my heart. I know God is in control and you are now pain free, reunited with Mom and Carolyn as well as all your family and friends who have gone before you. Hug and kiss them for us, watch over us and guide us. Until we meet again! I Love You!

  3. Always seeing Mr. Hinchee’s smiling face and said hello when I walked in the door to see the family at his home. We sometimes sat and talked just about anything that would strike a conversation. He may fall asleep at times but that was okay. Just enjoyed his company either way. He was a Great man. Always gave him a hug and told him to take care of himself when I left.
