HOLLINS, RICHARD Richard "Peewee" Hollins, 78, passed away Friday, January 23, 2009, surrounded by his loving family. He was born March 21, 1930 in Indianola, Pennsylvania. He has been an Escondido resident since 5th grade. Richard served as a Sergeant with the National Guard in the Korean War. He retired from PacBell as a Senior Manager after 37 years. Richard is survived by his wife of 59 years, Mildred; brother, Sidney, and sister, Reatha; children, John, Jim and Cindy; and grandchildren, Hayley, Jessica, Lauriah, John, Justine, Taylor, Joy and Jared. An avid outdoorsman, Richard loved to hunt, fish, hike and camp. What he enjoyed most was caring for his wife, children, and grandchildren, sharing a good story and laugh, and finding a great deal at a garage sale. Richard was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. He will be greatly missed by his family and many others who knew and loved him. A Memorial celebrating his life, will be at 1:30 p.m. Monday, February 2nd, at Emmanuel Faith Community Church Chapel, 639 E. Felicita Avenue, Escondido, CA 92025. Reception will follow.

Cindy,
I just wanted to tell you and your family how sorry I am to hear about your Dad's passing. I only met him recently - you brought him to a garage sale at my house a couple months ago! - but I remember thinking what a sweet man he was - and he did cut a good bargain (I believe he got a FREE fruit picker from me!)! My condolences...and relish the great memories you all must have.
Sincerely, Jennifer Hansen Brandt

Dear Mildred and family, So sorry to hear about Richard's passing. We so enjoyed all the good times we shared. Jerry especially enjoyed the hunting and fishing trips and he was a great person to work with. Also the pit barbecues at your home were very special. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Jerry and Darlene

Mildred and family - I was so sorry to hear about Pee Wee. Memories I have, as a child, of Pee Wee - so tall (!) and an infectious smile! And that name - never thought that it could be any other! Was amazed, when I got older, to find that his name was Richard! Will be keeping you in my prayers,

PeeWee Hollins was a real man, nothing phony about him . A true friend to many and a great family man. Any time spent with him was time well spent. He will be sorely missed. Bob Willis
