David R. Hintz Jr.'s Obituary
Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and Friend, Dave Hintz Jr., 71, entered Heaven on May 13, 2017 to be with his Heavenly Father, friends and family.

Dave was born on April 3rd, 1946 in Stevens Point, WI to David and Nettie Hintz. He graduated from Amherst High School in 1964, attended UW-LaCrosse until he joined and served time in the Army, married Jennifer Britton in 1969, and was employed at the Amherst Telephone Co. for 47 years.
Dave touched the lives of many people with his sense of humor, great stories and always gave all of himself without expecting anything in return. He loved spending time with his family, dancing, and singing, was an avid hunter, enjoyed anything Wisconsin Badgers, and loved the Lord.

The family would like to thank the staff of Willow Brooke Point Senior Living and Heartland Hospice for their compassion and care for Dave. We are also so grateful for our friends who gave so generously of themselves for our family. Everyone has been a huge blessing to us all.
