I WAS YOUNG WHEN I SAW THE HINES BROTHERS MAURICE AND GREGORY AND FROM DAY 1 I WAS A FAN THEY WAS TALENTED LOVEABLE AND GREAT MEN MAY HE REST IN HEAVEN AND TAP WITH HIS BROTHER RIGHT THRU THISE PEARLY GATES....

I was told a story by a mutual friend about Maurice and Gregory and Tallulah Bankhead in Las Vegas. I had just had a gouache portrait of her, which I bought at auction, framed. The story was so compelling, I gave it to my friend to gift to Maurice, who called me and thanked me. What a gracious, talented person.

Maurice and I were lifelong friends for the last 63 years. He was the most sincere and kindest person I´ve ever known. He was interested in you for you, and once that bond was created, he never abandoned the friendship. I spoke to him even labored just 2 days before he passed. I will miss him but grateful to have had our lives crossed. He was in a league of his own. Sympathy to Cheryl, family and legions of friends. Pete Wambach Harrisburg, PA
