James Anthony Hintz

James Anthony Hintz, age 68 of Waupun, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, September 17, 2011 at Waupun Memorial Hospital.

Jim was born on July 25, 1943 in Fond du Lac, a son to Clarence and Alvina (Schuman) Hintz.

On February 27, 1965, he married his soul-mate, Sandra Farr in Phoenix, AZ. They settled in North Fond du Lac where Jim was employed with the Department of Public Works for 32 years. Jim was a sentimental, honest man who will be remembered for his ever-present sweet smile. He valued time with his family, and treasured shopping trips, gambling, and vacations to Branson with loved ones. Jim was an avid Elvis fan, collecting a lot of Elvis memorabilia. He also enjoyed going to car shows and was fond of the old cars. Other hobbies were woodworking and just “putzin” around. The great outdoors provided many fond memories of fishing and deer hunting with his boys. More recently, he loved chauffeuring his grandsons around town. Jim was a member of Pella Lutheran Church of Waupun.

Jim is survived by Sandra, his wife of forty-six years; two sons, Tom and his wife Cindy Hintz, Waupun and Mark Hintz, Columbus; two grandsons, Anthony and Michael Hintz; his brother, Elmer (Ardine) Hintz, N. Fond du Lac; his sister, Carol (James) Kiersten, Chilton; his sister-in-law, Debra and her husband Reggie Zeniecki, Oak Creek; two brothers-in-law, Thomas Farr, Oak Creek, and Gary (Cynthia) Farr, Shreveport, Louisiana; a special niece, Tonya Wolf, Mesquite, TX; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother Harry Hintz; a nephew, Jeff Hintz; and a brother-in-law, Dale Farr.
