Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of your father.
As a child,I remember spending many hours at your parents home and with your family swimming at Riverside.
I especially remember spending time with Jo Gayle and Mary.
Your father was a remarkable man.

It has been several years since we have seen Ben. But have many good memories of him as a friend, hard worker at RC and helper to Lany's mother across the street. And he lived almost as long as she did! Our condolences to all of the Hiner family

Cathy, Jones, Jo Gayle, Mary, et al: I was sorry to hear about your Dad's passing; he was a great guy. I remember a lot of fun times on 13th Ave... with him involved. I also remember that my parents enjoyed the times they spent with both Ben and your Mom. I think your Dad was my Mom's favorite cousin in the Hiner clan.
I'll be thinkin' about you guys.

Although I had not seen Mr. Hiner for years, I always thought of him as a second dad once mine passed away. It was always nice to know he was two doors down the street. He was a good friend to the Morehouse family and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hiner family.

Ben was one of my favorite people and somebody that I have known since I was four years old. As I got older we would celebrate our Christmas Birthdays together at the traditional Hiner Christmas party. He was a gentle soul and always a joy to be around with lots of laughter because he was so funny! I'll never forget the time on Fourth of July when we set off fireworks and I threw a sparkler onto Gary's car and he darted off the porch to retrieve it so I wouldn't get in trouble. Much love to the entire Hiner family!
