My sincere condolences to Mr. Hinze’s friends and family. I didn’t know him personally but I did know him through his daughter and prayed for him on a regular basis. His legacy will be long lasting through his works and his family and friends. I pray for God’s comfort to all during this time.
My prayers for the Hinze’s family. Larry was a great father and grandfather. One of my favorite memory of Larry, being his neighbor was when he work my son, Andy and his son Daryn at the the fairground.
It was a great punishment.
Prayers and sincere condolences to Larrys family. I have known Larry for many years. When we were teens in Galveston his nick name was Bull Rider. We also worked together for over 30 years. All those years I never heard anyone speak bad about my friend Larry. He was always there to help anyone in need. A great man will be missed by family and friends
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family!
May he RIP!
