RIP MR Andy

Post by Joe Naylor »

I always talked to him at the Dallas Show - he was such a kind man. He and I had a couple conversations on the phone since Dallas and he told me that he was not long for this world.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Andy Hinton - Obituary

Post by Howard Hughes »

Here is the Link to Andy Hinton's Obituary

http://rose-neath.com/index.php/area_vi ... aryId_5008

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered "come to me". With tearful eyes I watched you, and saw you pass away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me...he... only takes the best...Until We Meet Again Old Friend....♥I Love & Miss You! Brother Andy, Rev.Dr(R).♫Howie♫.

Rest In Peace My Friend...♫Howie♫ :cry:
