Gerald Hinds

If you found yourself at Pennington Park on any given morning you’d most likely find Jerry there. It didn’t matter if it was 10 degrees and raining, the “Kite Kritter” would be there to fly one of his kites. An electrician at Maguire AFB, he was always skilled with his hands. When at home he kept himself busy with any gadget he came across. Tim the Tool Man would have been proud with how fast he was to modify any piece of electronics he found. Perhaps he was not successful every time, but he enjoyed it anyway. Most years at Christmas he used these skilled hands to build gifts for his children. Whether a bike he made from spare parts or a toy box made from an old casket, he always saw to it that there was something under the tree. rnWithin minutes of meeting his wife Pam (nee Fama) they both knew they were meant for each other, it wasn’t long till they were married. Jerry is also survived by his children: Bill (Robin) of Elkton, MD, John (Chris) of Wilkes Barre, PA and Dorothy of Wilmington, DE, as well we his 9 grandchildren.rnCome celebrate 74 wonderful years at a graveside service Wednesday 11 AM at Monument Cemetery, Beverly. In lieu of flowers memorial gifts may be made to Samaritan Hospice, 5 Eves Dr., Marlton, NJ 08050. –
