    I just read about Mr. Hinesley’s death. I was a neighbor back in Winter Park. His son, Rob, was my friend, and best man at my wedding. Mr. Hinesley hired me to work during the summer’s during my college years, and even gave me rides to work on occasion. When I was trying to determine my career, he advised me to pursue I.T. I later worked at the same Savings and Loan in Orlando. I would especially like to give my condolences to Cheryl. Also Shawn and Marc.
