Racine – Harry Lee Hinton, Jr. was born on April 21, 1959 to the union of Harry and Luxola (nee: Marshall) Hinton, Sr. in Chicago, Illinois.

Harry accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age  at Mt. Eagle Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Willie Riley. Harry received his formal education in the Racine Unified School District and was a proud graduate of Horlick High School in Racine, Wisconsin.

Harry was united in holy matrimony with Patrice Swenson on November 1, 1982 in Racine, WI.  Their union was blessed with three beautiful children. He was employed by Racine Steel Casting, Maple Leaf Farms, and Racine Plating Company. He enjoyed gatherings with his family and friends. On August 26, 2012 Harry reunited with Greater Mt. Eagle Baptist Church where Pastor Keith T. Evans is currently the pastor.

Harry Lee Hinton, Jr. departed this life on Monday, March 2, 2020.  He was preceded in death by his father Harry Hinton, Sr.; grandparents Benjamin and Annie Marshall, John and Lillie Hinton, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Dear Bob,
I just wanted to thank you again for all your help and everything you did for my grandfather’s funeral. Looking back on it, I think Gramps would have been so proud of how everything turned out and it would not have been possible without your help. Your staff is amazing and has allowed us the grieve without worrying about the little details of everything that goes into making the arrangements and planning the services. You helped us honor one of the most amazing men in my life, and it meant so much to me personally and to my family. Thank you for everything.
Take care,
Jessie Tuttle
