PETER JOACHIM HINES

Pete was one of a kind. He was an outstanding person and he is missed by all who knew him. He was simply the best of the best.

I just learned of Pete's passing and am so sorry to hear that. I met him 30 years ago when the produce company I drove for gassed up where he worked. He rebuilt an automatic transmission for me and I proceeded to put many miles on it without having it checked. The transmission failed. My wife and I had two young children and didn't have two nickels to rub together. Pete knew that and I will never forget the kind way he blamed the problem on that particular transmission (not the person who...

He was a gifted mechanic and always honest with his customers. He worked on several of our older cars and trucks over 10 years. We first went to his shop when it was on 16th Street too. Bless his family and Thank you Pete!!

OMG, I just learned about Pete! Meeting him about 20 years ago changed my life. I was living paycheck to paycheck, and he extended me credit. No matter what the problem, Pete would get my car back on the road and let me pay in installments. What a stress-reliever, knowing I'd always have reliable transportation. He cared. He got an award for letting a homeless man stay in a van there at night and sweep up. I bought my last three or four cars from him. The current one, a 1998 Toyota, was the...

Our deepest sympathies to the Hines Family for their loss. Pete was a caring, hard working, honest, and genuine person. He always went out his way to help others and always had a smile on his face. He will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Our deepest condolences to the Hines family. Pete has been our friend and mechanic for the last 20 years. He was a hardworking and honest man. He will be missed.

I am so sorry for your lose. I only met peter once briefly, and he seemed like a nice guy.

I got to know Pete when I coached his son Brad on the Buchholz golf team. Pete was extremely supportive in every way. He went above and beyond every expectation and he was that way with everything he did. There is a special place in heaven for people as kind and generous as Pete. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Pete was one of the most pleasant, fun, sweet people we ever knew. He bailed me out many times when my car wouldn't start and he and Ken always had a great time on the golf course. He was also very brave. We saw him recently and he never even mentioned being sick. We will miss him and hope your good memories will sustain you in this time of loss.
