Colon Eli Hine, Jr., 77, of Pumpkintown, SC, passed away March 23, 2020. He was born July 15, 1942, in Winston-Salem, NC to Euginia Elizabeth and Colon Eli Hine, Sr. A civil engineer by degree, but a project manager by profession, Eli enjoyed his career at J.E. Sirrine and finally at Day and Zimmerman.
Spending time with his beloved family and good friends was his source of true joy. Eli had a love of motorcycle riding, tinkering around the house, farm, on his vehicles/tractor, and raising exotic birds. These pursuits are what kept him close to the great outdoors for which he had a tremendous love. His enjoyment of music, especially Jazz, involved him in his community and fostered his innate creative talent.
Survivors include daughters, Kimberly Gregory (Chris Gregory-husband), and Allison Berman; sons, Michael Hine, and Scott Jones (Steffani Jones-wife); sisters, Jonnie Tucker, Bobbie Keen, and Colene Voll (Ron Voll-husband); grandchildren, Matthew Berman, Lexie Jones, Krista Gregory, and Carley Gregory; sister–in-law, Nona Kay Kelly (John Kelly-husband); nieces, nephews; numerous cousins and very dear friends scattered across the United States.
His loving wife, Barbara P. Hine, preceded Eli in death.
There will be no services held for this very kind, and loving gentleman.
