Sad to say, Art (Sneakypete) Hines passed away on July 14 in North Carolina.  He was 77 years of age.  Another VN vet who will be missed.

WOW! Missed is an understatement! I searched every funeral home in his area for such news and came up dry. Can you find an Obit for him @MACVSOG68 

He sent me this awhile back:

Quote
"The Coastland Times",printed in Manteo,NC

The "Daily Advance",printed in Elizabeth City,NC

And MAYBE "The Virginian-Pilot",printed in Norfolk,Va

This is assuming of course that the people handling my estate bother to have this done.

Nothing there that I can find.

I'm saddened but not surprised to hear of Art's passing. He had a rough time of it, healthwise.  :patriot:

An old patriot and soldier passes away

I would peek on this thread on occasion to see any news, and I had a gut feeling that he did pass away


Rest in peace, my friend. I raise a glass to you and your service. For you and your families last request,  a donation of Saint Jude’s Children’s Hospital is on its way

I knew his first name but I did not know his whole name.

He was always a gentleman to me and supported me at my lowest.

G-d bless you Pete, and I know you are in heaven surrounded by dogs and cats you have loved.

I am really going to miss you.  :patriot:

We enquired about him in June, says he died on July 14th at the ECU, I wonder if he ever knew we were all asking about him?

Tears and more tears.  It's really tough to lose a TBR member that I've known for so long. I truly liked Arthur. He had quite a few stories that indicated that he had a rough life from the beginning to the end and because of those stories and background, I found him to be a remarkable person and he touched my heart. He served this country proudly and I will always be grateful for his service.

Good-bye Arthur. May God Bless You. Rest in Peace.   8888crybaby

Perhaps.  I prayed for him many times and hopefully, he knew or could feel that we were all thinking of him.

I know he was a cantankerous old coot (it takes one to know one)
But he stood fast with me though some very dark times.

I know I never knew him... Not in the sense one would normally infer - I never shook his hand, never looked him in the eye. But in the way of anonymous postings on the internet, even then, with a couple decades of simmering, I think the essence of the man can be inferred, if not defined, as it is with the flesh...

I know the name Art Hines passed through my fingertips - A name I probably knew in passing through the years... It's odd how real life is so ethereal as viewed from the net... But @sneakypete  is a name I will carry with me the rest of my life.

@sneakypete was my friend.

RIP
