Mr. Lee Roi Hines

Lee Roi Hines was born on July 31, 1932, in Savannah, Georgia, to the late Charles Collier and Renalda Hines (Chance). Lee Roi attended school in Savannah, GA, and at a young age joined the Air Force. As a U. S. Air Force Korean War Veteran, he was the recipient of the National Defense Service Medal and was honorably discharged in 1960. After Lee Roi left the military, he moved to the ‘Big Apple’ and resided in Brooklyn, New York, where he worked for a trucking firm. On November 23, 1963, Lee Roi united in holy matrimony with Mavis R. Trotman in Toronto, Canada. From this union, they were blessed with two beautiful daughters, H. Rena` Hines and Paige D. Hines, and was the proud grandfather of Kai A. Hines. Lee Roi moved his family to Harrisburg, PA, where he worked for Carolina Freight in Carlisle, PA, for twenty years until he retired in 1995. Anyone who met Lee Roi would never forget him. He was a sharp dresser who loved a nice suit and hat. He had a zest for life with a witty and feisty spirit. Lee Roi was like Frank Sinatra…he did things…‘His Way.’ He loved watching football, especially the Dallas Cowboys, listening to his favorite artists like Marvin Gaye and Isaac Hayes; and he was also a member of the Ephraim Slaughter American Legion, Post #733, in Harrisburg, PA. Lee Roi was an active and faithful member of Mt. Sinai A.M.E. Church of Harrisburg, PA, for many years where he served as a Trustee of the Men’s Ministry and was a member of the Choir. On Saturday, September 5, 2015, at the Osteopathic Hospital in Harrisburg, PA, Lee Roi heard his Heavenly Father call him Home. Along with his parents, he was also preceded in death by his brothers, Benjamin Hines and Henry Hines. He leaves to celebrate his life: his devoted wife, Mavis R. Hines of Harrisburg, PA; his daughter, H. Rena` Hines of Reisterstown, MD, grandson, Kai A. Hines; and daughter, Paige D. Hines of Owings Mills, MD; his nieces and nephews from Connecticut, Georgia, New York and Canada; the rest of his family; his best buddies, Eugene Patrick and Harvey Carter; and a myriad of friends. Respectfully and Lovingly Submitted, Lee Roi’s Family ‘God Saw’ God saw the road was getting rough, the hills were hard to climb; He gently closed the loving eyes and whispered, “Peace Be Thine.” The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights are past. The ever patient worn out frame has found sweet rest at last. Mr. Hines’ life will be celebrated at 11 a.m., Monday, September 14th, at Wallace Funeral Directors with viewing/visitation 10 to 11 a.m. Interment will be at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery.
