Sadly, another Quincy legend now belongs to the ages, was taken too soon RIP Jim, as you truly were one of SQ's finest, & one of its most beloved residents. You always had the most endearing & uplifting smile, while you were as genuine & compassionate as they come. The first time that I really got to know you, probably 10 years back, I was struck by your sincere kindness, authenticity, generosity, deep sensitivity to people, past family history & by your fascinating life experiences (you really made something out of it, found much success via hard work, good business acumen & honesty!). Not a mean or fake bone in your body, just an all round Great Guy & Wonderful Joy to converse with. Squantum & Quincy lost a fine, very dependable representative, along with a much admired leader, this modern day, German-Irish Knight of chivalrous honor, true nobility & heartfelt devotion to his family (your dedication to your children was amazingly & beautifully selfless!). You will be very, very missed my man. May the afterlife be all that you dreamed it would be, & may God hold you in the palm of his hand. RIP Jim, & Godspeed

Our deepest condolences to Jenny, Craig, Paul and the entire Hines family. We were shocked and saddened to read of Jim’s passing. His larger than life personality was captivating and memorable. Whether it was a spontaneous hug, a pat on the shoulder or an enthusiastic wave from his truck, we always knew Jim was sincere and caring. Jim’s memory will live on forever. He was unforgettable. So sorry for your loss! Nancy and Tom Gallagher

Jenny and Craig,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. We were '76 classmates at NQHS.
Your dad selflessly volunteered his time to the Squantum Storm for many years, mostly to spend time with Craig. When it was time to pass the torch he came to me with great pride of the Storm's progress during his tenure. I happily obliged and carried on his great passion for the Quincy Youth Football League. I'm sure that you're proud of this legacy that he has left behind.
Respectfully.

Mrs. Hines (Rose), Jennifer, Craig, Loretta and the Hines siblings,
I am so sad and heartbroken to hear of Jimmy's passing. He was a such wonderful man and proud dad. When we would get a chance to catch up with each other he would always talk about Jennifer, Craig and the Hines family. He so loved his children. I will never forget all the great times I had with Jim and the Hines'.
With loving memories,
Dawn
