It is with heavy hearts that the family announces the passing of Hearley Hinds, 79 years, on Tuesday, February 12, 2019 at Health Sciences North. Beloved husband and best friend of 58 years to Margo. Forever loved by his children; Haven (Toni), Kevin (Helen), Colleen (Ralph) and Shaun (Shannon). Sadly missed by his many grandchildren; Megan, Tyler, Calvin, Sarah, Nolan, Katrina, Ashley, Cullen and Adam. He will be fondly remembered by his siblings Gerald (Elsie), Cecil (predeceased) (Helen), Donny (predeceased) (Elizabeth), Charlie (Bonnie), Alan (Vicky) and Iona (predeceased) (John). Hearley considered both Sudbury and Manitoulin Island his home as he would spend many days at Stanley Park on Lake Mindemoya and at his Deer Camp in Spring Bay. Following a career as Service Manager with Laurentian Chrysler, Hearley retired to spend his time volunteering with the Nickel Belt Snow Spirits snowmobile club. He will be remembered for his love of the outdoors as an avid fisherman and hunter, never to pass up a snowmobile, fishing or hunting trip with his many close friends and family. Always being at the forefront when work needed to be done, either cutting firewood, working around the camp or brushing trails. In keeping with Hearley's wishes, there will be no visitation or service. A Celebration of Life for family and friends will take place at a later date. Donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association in Hearley’s memory would be appreciated.
Our condolences to Margo and family from Steve and Helen Killam.

The Dash Poem
I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning to the end
He noted that first came the date of her birth
And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years
For that dash represents all of the time
That she spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
Thinking of you Hearley, for your well spent dash. We love you, rest in peace.
