Paul was always busy! He began working on the Jones family farm at the age of 10 and never stopped working hard.  Paul loved building and remodeling any and everything!  There was never a building that could not be remodeled. Many homes in Lima were built or remodeled by Paul.  As a young man, Paul earned his private plane license and enjoyed many a fly-in breakfast. In his later years, Paul enjoyed traveling all over the US.  Paul and Barb enjoyed many trips to the New England states to see the colors, visits with friends in the mid-West and their yearly winter trip to their home in Florida. In the past few years, Paul and Barb were able to visit grandchildren in Colorado and California.  Sports were always a topic of conversation when you talked with Paul.  He played sports as a young man and enjoyed watching sports as he got older. Paul loved watching all his grandchildren play sports and he was always their number one supporter.  Grandchildren visits to Florida often included a MLB spring training game.  Paul enjoyed any MLB game but told his grandchildren he especially liked a game that the Yankees lost. No matter where he was, Livonia or Florida, Paul had his woodworking shop all set up. He enjoyed making wooden toys, bowls and any wood project his family wanted. Having two or three of every tool was always a must!  When not working in the workshop, Paul was found restoring old tractors.  Anytime he spotted a tractor, especially an old beat-up one, it was an automatic purchase. Paul even cleared the overgrowth of his back lot just a few weeks ago with a restored tractor.

No one had a bigger heart than Paul.  He was always available to help any and every one.  Service calls on many appliances were made at all times of day and night, a helping hand was leant for any project and money given anonymously for anyone who needed a bit of help.  Paul spent many hours working with friends at Vitale Park to create Freedom Point to be sure that it was always in beautiful condition and welcoming to visitors.

Paul’s 84 years were full and he thought life could never be better than right here with his family!  Everyone looked forward to visiting Paul; you were always guaranteed a huge bowl of warm, buttery popcorn fresh from the popcorn machine.  It did not matter if it was after Thanksgiving dinner, Sunday afternoon football game, or an evening baseball game, popcorn was always ready. Paul loved his wife dearly, along with his son and three daughters with all his heart. But his proudest moments were when he talked about his greatest loves his 10 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Each of them provided Paul with entertainment, laughs, extra tight hugs and love beyond measure! Paul’s love for all his family will forever be in our hearts.

Paul’s family would like to thank Father William Laird and Charles Gardner for their spiritual support and Laurie for her comforting care.

Family and friends may call on Monday, October 21st, from 3-7pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 21 Big Tree Street, Rte 20A, Livonia, NY.  Paul’s Funeral Mass will be held at 1pm on Tuesday, October 22nd, at St. Matthew Catholic Church, 6591 Richmond Mills Road, Rte 20A, Livonia.  After Paul’s Mass a luncheon will be held at the church and burial will be held at 4:00pm at St. Rose Cemetery, Lima, NY.  In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made in Paul’s Memory to St. Matthew Catholic Church, PO Box 77, Livonia, NY 14487 or to Livingston County Hospice, 2 Murray Hill Drive, Mt.

Joseph Hynes “Joe” – October 1, 2019

 

Livonia Center: At age 77, Joe passed away with his family by his side on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at Highland Hospital in Rochester, NY.  Joe was born in Rochester to the late George and Gertrude Hynes.  Predeceased by his siblings, Gertrude Hoban, Norma Sotir, and Owen Hynes.  Survived by his children; Terry (Tyan) Hynes of Seattle, WA, Sergeant First Class Edward (Cherina Perimon) Hynes of Anahuac, TX, Bob Hynes, Johanna Hynes, and their mother Mary Hynes; his grandchildren; Fiona and Owen Hynes, Lucien Hildreth, Murphy Hynes and their Mother Michelle Struble.  His siblings; Monica (Ralph) Boss, George (Peg) Hynes, Jim (Judy) Hynes, his brother-in-Law; Alex Sotir, and his sister-in-law Pat Hynes, along with many nieces, nephews as well as great nieces and nephews, and lovingly cared for by Amy Hendrickson.

Joe lived a full life, he spent his youth pushing boundaries, and he was fond of telling those stories to his family and friends.  One of his favorites was how at the age of 4 or 5 he managed to convince his older brother to try on their fathers Police issued hand cuffs.  Unfortunately, their father was on a hunting trip with the keys so when the boys could not get the cuffs back off, their mother had to take them to the station to have the desk sergeant remove them.  Joe felt it was a personal triumph that his older brother had to go to the police station shirtless in a snowstorm to get the cuffs removed.  After graduating high school Joe enlisted in the Navy to travel and see the world.  Upon completion of his service he returned to Rochester and became a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.  As an electrician Joe was know as a mentor to many young apprentices, we believe it was during this time that he coined one of his favorite sayings “I can’t believe I taught you everything I know and you still know nothing.”  This was Joes trademark always willing to help, and always ready with a witticism and probably a criticism or two.  For as all who knew Joe can attest Joe had never been wrong in his life, at least according to Joe.  After retiring from the Union Joe became well known a local grocery store where he would spend his days supporting education by playing scratch off lottery tickets for up to eight hours a day.  While some may say that this was an issue to those of us who knew him best it meant he was easy to find.  His son who served in the Army used to state that he would come home on leave drop his bags at the house then head to the customer service desk at West to say hi to Dad.  He spent so much time at that counter scratching tickets that his oldest and youngest sons had to take their future wives and the mothers of their children to the store to meet Joe.  Where it is rumored, he may have even stopped scratching for a second to say hi, though some doubt that was the case.

Friends and Family are invited to call on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 from 4-7 PM at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home, 21 Big Tree St. Livonia NY.  A funeral mass will be held on Thursday, October 10, 2019 at 11 am at St. Matthew’s Church, 6591 Richmond Mills Road Livonia, NY.  Interment will immediately follow mass at St. Michael’s cemetery on Shelly Road in Livonia.
