Thomas “Tom” Byron Hines Sr., 71, of Michigan City, IN, formerly of Granger, IN, passed away peacefully at 11:45 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, 2019, at La Porte Hospital.
He was born June 20, 1948, in Logansport, IN, to Virgil and Lois (Berkshire) Hines.
Tom graduated in 1967 from Penn High School, Mishawaka, IN. He honorably served his country in the United States Army. Grampy was an avid movie watcher but enjoyed being with his family the most. His biggest mark he will leave on this earth is his children and grandchildren.
