David Hinton Obituary

To the entire Hinton family, I only met Mr. Hinton once when he came to a restaurant I owned. He was very generous and told my husband that when we went to Chicago to look him up and he would show us around, how very kind.I am very sorry for your tremenous loss.

To the entire Hinton Family, our most sincere condolences on the loss of David. John and Lydia Comerford

To David Jr., Kevin, Sean, Mark and Keri. I was a classmate and friend of your dad - at St. Paul High School, Scranton, Pa - Class of 1959. As the chairman of our recent 50th reunion, I want to share with you, what I wrote to our class after we heard of your dad's passing:

"Dear Classmates: We were all so close to David and enjoyed his great sense of humor. I am especially grateful to Dave for introducing me to Mary Ann Walsh. Mary Ann and I til the day he died were close to him and would call him often to see how he was doing.

David was fully intending and wanted so much to see all of us at our 50th Reunion in Scranton. But at the last moment, he was suffering too much to make the trip. Even so, he sent in a very generous donation which made it possible for the rest of his classmates to have such a great time at a reduced fee. After the reunion, I sent Dave a package that included all the hand-outs at the reunion. He called to say how much he enjoyed reading about his classmates in the reunion book we published with our classmates' biography.

Please take a moment to look back at page 28. The picture of David's family at his son Sean's wedding that we put in his biography is even better in color. Mary Ann and I have a copy of it and can't get over how handsome his children - - - and his boys look so much like Dave. I have attached a copy of this picture.

Tonight (March 21st) Mary Ann spoke to his son, David, Jr. The family is staying at Dave's home where we could send notes, Mass cards, etc.: 815 Country Club Drive, LaGrange Park, IL 60525.

So glad more than ever that we were together for our 50th!

Love to all and may God have mercy on our friend, David."

David was a classmate of mine at St. Paul's High School and I will never forget his sense of humor and delight in all of his friends. He was so loved. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

David, Kevin, Sean, Mark, and Kerri~
I am so sorry about your father. He was always there when someone needed
him. I personally know this and will forever be grateful. He was so proud of all of you. I am so happy I got to see him recently. I wish I could have been there, but all of you are in my prayers. I hope you find comfort in all your wonderful memories of him. love, your cousin, Colleen

Dave, you where a great man and even better friend. I will miss our many laughs and stories we shared. You will be in our hearts always, may you rest in peace.

Love Julie and Jack Albrecht

Dear David, Kevin, Sean, Kerri and Mark,
Words can't express how sorry I am for the loss of your Dad. When I think of Uncle Dave, I think of his smile, deep voice, his spirited personality and his laugh, boy did he love to laugh-as we all do in this family.
I have so many great memories of your Dad-especially our trips to Wildwood New Jersey every summer. We looked forward to this every year and this was our parents way for us to get to know each other. I am so grateful for this.
I always knew when my mother was talking to your Dad because there was loud laughter coming from the kitchen. He usually called her in route to someplace to keep her updated on his family. He was so proud of all of you!
You lost your Mom and Dad too soon but they certainly did what God called them to do: raise a beautiful family- I know you will carry on their legacy and do it with grace and dignity.
I love all of you and wish I was there with you during this very sad time. Please know my heart is heavy and my prayers are for peace for all of you in the upcoming days, weeks and future.
I love you.

Your cousin,
Alison McMullen Williams

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Phil, Sara, Chris & the Entire Hinton Family,

I can't believe that you're suffering another loss. Please know that I'm thinking of you, as are so many others.

To the Hinton Family and everyone at H & G,I send my thoughts and prayers. I have not seen Dave in a long time, but remember him as a Fantastic and vibrant person. I was sad to hear this news and know he will be missed by many.

To the Hinton family -

May God bless and comfort you in this sad time. Dave was one of the best good guys and fills many of my fondest memories, a hero on Richmont Street. He will be greatly missed by so many. Dave and you are in our family's prayers.

With deepest sympathy,

It has been so very long since Dave Hinton and I had a face-to-face conversation. However, I kept up with his activities through other colleagues -- association and hospitality management -- and for sure I remember him well and fondly as if our last meeting were just a short time ago.

Dave was one of those bigger-than-life folks whom one just does not forget. My deepest sympathy to all the Hinton children and their families, and to the Hinton and Grusich family members whom he loved so.

Rest well, David. Celebrate well, children of David,for his was a life worth celebrating.
