Paul Hinds Obituary
He graduated from McClenaghan High School, attended Mars Hill College and graduated from Newberry College. He spent his early professional life as a teacher and was the Assistant Principal of Delmae Elementary school. He then opened and ran several businesses in Columbia and Pamplico, most notably the Deli on Main Street which was a popular gathering place for teenagers and young adults in town. He enjoyed coaching, having coached Small Fry and Dixie Youth baseball, Pop Warner football, and church league softball as well as the "Pamplico Pharmacy" traveling softball team.
He loved to fish at Santee and gave his favorite spots nicknames of those he'd fished with there or animals he'd seen there. "Mr. Paul" was well known for his skill in making a mean sub sandwich, his love of fishing and his enjoyment of a good card game, not to mention selling blueberries to folks around town from Martie Haselden's blueberry patch. Paul will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
The Children want to especially thank Terri (Paul's Niece) and Steve Bazen for their generosity and kindness to Mr. Paul in his later years as he "held down the fort" at Bazen's Crossroads.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity in his name.
Services will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 11:00 AM at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 1883 South Pamplico Highway, followed by a Celebration of Life at 12:00 PM at Sweet T, 625 South Walnut Street in Pamplico.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday in heaven Mr. Paul! I sure miss seeing you come into Woodstone. You always had a smile on your face, and treated me as one of your own. Tell my daddy I love him and miss him.

Sending my most heartfelt, sincere
condolences to Paul´s family and friends.
There will be such an empty space where Paul was. To know him was to love him and never forget him. He was such a special person. Always happy, funny, friendly and generous of all he had. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

I got to know Mr. Paul years ago. He came into Woodstone, and we started talking. He told me he met my dad in pulmonary rehab in 2018, and that they became friends. He said they had alot in common and they would talk about tractors, antiques, farming, family and Woodstone. It didn´t take long before I became attached to this sweet man. Every time I would see him he would talk about my dad. He would see me get emotional, and he would encourage me telling me how proud my dad was of me, and how well the business was going. He told me my dad was smiling so big from Heaven. I loved that he would always bring up my dad every time I saw him. I know he and my dad are talking about all of those things again in Heaven. Mr. Paul would bring me fresh blueberries, boiled peanuts and flowers. He didn´t know this until later on, but my dad used to bring me those things, too. I feel he was an angel sent to me when I needed it the most. You were a sweet treasure. We had a lot of conversations over the years; especially lately. He was a precious soul and I´ll never forget him. I´m going to miss you so much. Thank you for everything Mr. Paul.
