Edward Hines Obituary
Ed, 70, of Matthews, was called by his Savior to come home on April 6, 2010 at Lake Park Nursing Home, where he resided since January of 2006.
A memorial service to celebrate Ed's life will be held 11:00 a.m. Saturday, April 10, at McEwen Funeral Service, Mint Hill Chapel, 7428 Matthews-Mint Hill Road. The family will receive friends following the service.
Born in Charlotte, NC on June 15, 1939, Ed was a son of the late Lois Webb Hines and Walter Edward Lee Hines. He was an avid sports person, loving baseball, football and most of all, golf.
Surviving are his wife, Patricia Hines; children, Shawn Hines, Larry Hines, Lance Hines, and Lisa Scott; and six grandchildren. He was also survived by his siblings, Wayne Hines and wife, Jill, Shirley Osborne and husband, Gerald, Gary Hines and wife, Pat, and Kim Levins; his sister-in-law, Nancy D. Grey; his brother-in-law, Richard L. Doherty, Jr.; and his nephews and nieces.
Ed graduated from Central High School in 1959 and joined the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army, where he served seven years. He worked as a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer for four years, and later worked for PPG Glass Industries, Inc., and Cartner Glass Systems, until his retirement in June 2000.
The family offers their sincere appreciation to the Lake Park Staff for the love and care shown to Ed during his illness. The staff was very close to Ed and showed their devotion to him.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Alzheimer's Association-Western Carolina Chapter, 3800 Shamrock Drive, Charlotte, NC 28215-3220.

Pat and family, all of Ed's friends at Lake Park are going to miss him. He was a special man, and his wife Pat's devotion was really remarkable. Although Ed was so confined and unable to communicate well, you could still see he loved his Pat!
May God be with you during this time of sorrow, and may you know that Ed is at peace and enjoying his Life beyond. God Bless you all.

So sorry to hear of the Homegoing of ED. I grew up with Ed and went to school with him. I always thought alot of Ed and thought of him often--last time i saw him was at wal-mart, don't know if he remembered me or not, some of his family stayed in background. Ed I'll miss knowing you are gone but you will never be gone as long as you are in our hearts. Will miss you for awhile but expect you be there to greet me when I follow you.
Brotherly Love in CHRIST
