Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. The members of our CopNET family would like to thank William B. Hinchcliff Sr. for his dedication and service to the citizens of Philadelphia. The passing of Bill will be broadcast to our 3,531 members shortly and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family.

Your father will be missed by all who knew him. Your family is a special family. It has been a pleasure knowing you all these years. I remember your father as a wonderful Sunday School teacher who took the time to get to know all the kids in his class.

Dear Cheryl, Bill, Tim, Charlene and Family,

We are so sad to learn of the passing of your Dad. I have fond memories from growing up on Tabor Road with the Hinchcliff Family. Your Dad was a special gentleman who always had a bright smile on his face, had a solution to every issue when our parents were not home, and always had a hug for me. Your parents were more than neighbors on the front porch, they were like parents to us, very kind and loveable.

May your family be Blessed with comforting memories and please know you all are in our prayers.

With Love and Sympathy,

Karen and David Malandra
and the Stein Family

To all the Hinchcliffs, I am sending our thoughts and prayers to all of you on behalf of my mom, Jane Craighead, and all of the Craighead family. My mom has shared many happy memories about your parents to us. And of course, we have heard stories over the years from the famous Card Club!!! It's sad to see an era end. May God bless you all with His peace and may your many memories bring comfort to you all.
