Mr Hines was a great person and a wonderful leader in our company PYA. He ran our warehouse with a strong hand. And was every responsible for a quality and quick move to the Columbia. Much respect for a great management style.We as salespeople could always count on getting products to our customers. He showed me how you should conduct yourself at all times. Love to the family. And prayers for peace.

Mr. and Mrs. Hines were a second family to me. My uncle, Tom Brown, started dating their daughter, Janie, when I was a wee lad of 7 or 8 years old. So, I was a regular fixture in their household, coming and going, just like one of their kids. I remember distinctly one day that Mr. Hines took me and his son, Alan, and let us spend the day with him, when he went into his office. Again, he treated me just like another one of his kids. He showed us all around his office and in the warehouse and inside the HUGE freezers. I am thankful for having had his influence in my life. I never could bring myself to call him James. I just had too much respect for him. I will indeed miss him and broad smile he always carried.
