She loved Bible study, singing, shopping, getting an orange cream slush from Sonic, or any opportunity to be together. She loved her brother-in-law and always found peace in his words. As an aunt to Chrisli Austin (Benji), Amanda Eller (Joshua) and great-aunt to Kylie, Tyler, Lukas, Jasper, Huck, Paisley and Alanna, she embraced the role. As a friend, the names would take more space, but in Ester, Linda, and Sandy she found kindred spirits for her adventures. She was always up for an experience, even if it meant getting muddy and soaked, being stranded on a cruise ship, or meeting friends for dinner. Her faith made her who she was, gave her a big heart for people, even those who crashed her spirit. Some people claim their value in money, fame, popularity, things. She found her value in her Savior. A private celebration honoring her will be held in the coming days. Memorials: Hospice or to the Leslie and Brian Robert son for their family mission.

Judy's best friend, he loved, honored and cherished her - cliche but true. He believed in never letting a day pass without making her laugh. They met in the ninth grade when he made her laugh asking for help to sneak into the circus. That moment turned into a 60-pIus year adventure. Happy memories of his love for sunsets, comedy, pranks, BK and his Elvis peiformances ^ transcend the generations of his Br^ family. He was always at home in Massachusetts whether it was his beloved Holyoke, Williams- burg.orlastlySouthHadleybe- fore relocating to spend his fi- nal years in North Carolina. He started his schooling and athlet- '"§^^ ic years in Holyoke before his ^ father's business took the fami-^^Bi ' ly to Mt. Olive, 111. He gradual- ' ^^^B ed from Mt. Olive High School 1^ B^HBI with the class of 1959 where he was an Illinois all state football player. After being widely recruited he accepted a football scholarship at the Univer sity of Missouri, Columbia where he lettered under leg endary Coach Dan Devine. Aware of his bigger than life football career, his grandson, George, would frequently remind him to "Be athletic" as he battled in the biggest game of his life, cancer. Once again, he was a standout as he ran the field and overcame the obstacles. But cancer achieved the final tackle. A man of many, some say magical, talents he suc cessfully wore many hats. Starting as a delivery boy for Droste's Market he spent more time with the customers than at the store. He enjoyed people and had the gift of gab that later translated into a successful insurance sales ca reer. After winning a bet with a friend his entrepreneurial instincts and pioneering spirt lead him to create The Orig inal Chimney Sweep Co. growing into the New England School of Chimney Sweep, the first such school legiti mately accredited by Massachusetts. When the state ini tially rejected his accreditation application because, "An education B.A. was required," he quickly eliminated the roadblock. After all, what does a college football player study? Yes, he completed his bachelor's degree ibn physi cal education at the University of Missouri. Diploma pro duced; problem solved. After watching his fust two daugh ters wed in the early 80s without a decent video, he said, "1 can do this." His enterprising instincts kicked in and "A Good Time Video Productions" was bom. Of his numer ous video production experiences, he was most honored to have produced the US Naval Academy, Annapolis, Com mencement Ceremony video for five consecutive years. He was bom to Everett David Hinkley and Juluia Mar garet Nolan on Aug. 15,1940 in North Adams, Mass.
