Samuel Michael Hinton

I had the privilege of working with Mike during his tenure at Tri-west healthcare alliance. He was loved by all. We admired his work ethic and always had a smile on his face. He enhanced my life and taught me so much regarding my position with the company. I offer my condolences to his wife and family. Heaven just became a whole lot richer. RIP

Mike and I go back to the fall of 1965 when we were assigned to the 74 Med Bn to be deployed to RVN. We kept in touch from time to time ever since. I knew Mike to be a devout Christian, a devoted husband and family man, a good friend and a truly outstanding Army MSC officer. May he rest in eternal peace.

Mike Hinton was one of the finest leaders and mentors of my military career. He was joyful, kind and such a great role model. I'm saddened to learn of his passing but so glad to hear his life after the military was so rich. May he rest in peace.

Mike and his family have been special friends to me. We did a youth mission trip to W Va ending with a float down the New River. He taught me about the Sacred Harp singing.

Mike will be missed very much. I dearly loved him and always enjoyed singing and fellowship with him. Some great memories.

We will miss Mike's kindness, his leadership, his gentle manner, his steadfastness, and his sense of humor. He was a fine singer, a superior supporter of Sacred Harp, and a true friend.

He will be greatly missed. Him and my Dad were first cousins. Rest in Peace.
