James Hein Obituary
James R. Hein, 78, of Clintonville, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, July 25, 2015. He was born January 26, 1937, in the Township of Bear Creek to Max and Ida (Krueger) Hein.

Jim was a lifelong member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Bear Creek, serving God and others by holding many church offices through the years. He also was a member of the National Guard and the Two-Cylinder Club. Jim enjoyed farming, woodworking, spending time in the woods, riding his motorcycle and polka dancing. But most of all, Jim loved spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, neighbors and friends.
