Lewis Floyd Hines, Jr. January 4, 1952 - July 30, 2018

Lewis Floyd Hines, Jr., 66, of Albany, passed away on Monday, at his home.

A devoted husband, father, and friend.  Soft-spoken with a generous smile, Lew was a source of strength and encouragement to those around him.  His faith in God, a foundational tenet of his life, was evident in his interest, acceptance, and warmth for others.  A past adventurer of mountain tops and roaring rivers, his love of nature fueled a career in the outdoors working 35 years in the Albany Parks Department.  A man of many hobbies, Lew was a carpenter, mechanic, bowler, and foremost a teacher to many more than he ever realized.  Survived by his wife Andi, daughter Audrey, and sons Tom and Lew.  In lieu of flowers, please support Lew's passion to help homeless animals by donating a financial gift in his name to Safe Haven Humane Society, which can be left at the service or mailed directly.

AAsum-Dufour Funeral Home is handling the arrangements (www.aasum-dufour.com).
