I am so deeply sorry for the loss of John. He was a very kind and good man. At the time I lived in Woodstock right up the road from John and and at the time Nancy. They hired me every year to Decorate their Beautiful home for the Holidays for several years in a row. They were always so very good to me and I always enjoyed working for them. It was a great honor to have known John , Nancy and then Lucy. I will always remember them. My heart goes out to the entire family. 

When we remember  John Hintz, it will always be at a beach bonfire  after dinner at John and Lucy’s beautiful house in Freeport, Grand  Bahama. Sitting under the stars, there was nothing like listening to the surf and John’s irreverent sense of humor. We’ll so miss seeing you on the beach, wild rides on the golf cart and your boyish grin. RIP buddy - we love you. Poppy and Henry

“Just another day in Paradise”! That was the steadfast answer when I would ask how things were going. He forever had that quick wit about him and seemed to always inject a little humor into the conversation. I learned a lot from John about the construction business, but what will stick with me more than anything else are the life lessons that he shared along the way without him even realizing he was doing it. His work ethic and integrity was impeccable, as was his humility. He was of this earth, and sea, the very salt of it.  I will miss his laughter, his smile and his huge heart! So, with that I say, Cheers Johnny, here’s to ya! May you Rest in Paradise! 


There are so many adventures we could share, but one in  particular comes to  mind.  
On our first boating trip together in our respective vessels, we developed such admiration for John and Lucy.  The “Miss Lucy” and the “Beachwalk ”  had encountered harsh weather whilst in transit.  Staying in close radio communication, we continually looked over and caught the occasional sighting of our two brave friends dauntlessly heading right into the dark clouds and high seas.
Confidence and determination clear to see on their beautiful faces.
 As a crew they were amazing , as a loving couple,  even more so.
We enjoyed so many rib splitting laughs when we were in John and Lucy’s company. 
We always could tell when Johnny was satiated, because his eyes would become rather almond shaped. (See pic below ❤️)
 Of course, most pictures of John also included his trusty “Yet-tie”, 
 his warm trademark smile, and that twinkle in his eye.
We will always cherish the wonderful  memories of our times shared together, 
never to be forgotten, and always to be etched in our mind’s eye, and in our hearts. 
Be it boating, dining, exploring the many island beaches, or just hanging out together,
 Our time spent with John and Lucy were literally some of the best times of our lives.  

There are so many things we can say about John.  He was so thoughtful and generous with his love and devotion to Lucy, and their beloved family.  He could talk for hours about his family, especially all of the grand babies.  He showed so much love and generosity to his friends and would do anything for those lucky enough to be in his sphere.
 His love for the islands, it’s people, and their warm island  home was a joy to witness.

Our love and heartfelt condolences go out to Lucy and John’s beautiful family. 


John was generous with his love and his friendship.
John was honest in his beliefs, and in his dealings.
John had a tremendous sense of humor. 
John was an exceptional and naturally gifted boater.
John always brought kindness and humanity to every encounter. 
John was a natural leader, not because of his position, 
but rather because people chose to follow him.
John’s humility was very rare and totally genuine. 
John’s many accomplishments and his success were a result of his intelligence, hard work and numerous talents. 
John truly and totally lived every day.
John’s love and deep commitment to his family’s happiness and welfare 
were foremost in his life’s goals.
John’s love, dedication and respect for Lucy were tangible and ever-present.
The world is a poorer place for his passing.
Yet,  we are all better people, and have been personally enriched
 for having known,  and for having loved John.


The Hollingsworth family would like to express their hart felt condolences to  Lucy Hintz and the family on the lost of her husband, a father, a brother, a grandfather and a friend  that stuck closer than a brother. 

I had the pleasure of knowing and working for John for the past 10 years,  and if you ask me to  describe him I would say that he was a man of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, and he was also a perfectionists. 

John and I relationship was not  one of employer and employee, we had a relationship of a father and a son  even thou I was the elder he was a father to me,  because he treated me as a son .
He was a father to me because he instructed me, in ways to do things and how to handle family matters.
He was a brother to because he would always stand up for me.
He was a friend to me because, we could always talk about anything , and we  always shear our secrets. 

One thing that I admire of John is that he was a great steward of the things that he possess, he valued every thing that he work for.  
And he took nothing for granted. And he treated every one that came across his part as a human being, with dignity and respect. John was a man of integrity, and class. 

 
I would like to say to his wife; Lucy be strong, the memories that you have of John will brighten each day for you, until you meet him again.
To the children; yes your father, grandfather has gone on but the wisdom, and the values that he has taught you will be with you for ever,  the love that he has given you I know you will pass it on to your children.

John was a blessing to me and my family, and I thank God for him, he has past on now to a better place,  a place where the soul of man never dies.  
I pray that the God of all comfort and peace, give peace to his wife and family, and comfort them in there hour of bereavement.
May his soul rest in peace.




Our lives were made richer and more blessed from knowing John and spending many good times with him.  We knew him to be an honest friend.  His last days reflected his caring and responsible character as some of his last desires were to have his personal and business affairs in order so his loved ones would not be burdened with those matters after his death.  Some of our conversations included religion and I know that John was a firm believer in Christ so I do not question his eternal life.  
We will forever remember and miss all those great times we shared boating, dinners, get togethers, and the great bond fires.   
Our sincerest condolences to Lucy and John's family for your loss of a truly good man.

I have known John for over 25yrs working in his home.around his family, he treated me like family. Through happy times and sad times he was always there for everyone. Our heartfelt sympathies to Lucy and John’s extended loving family. Rest In Peace John                                                                                  Anne 💔🙏

We met in 1998, in the infancy stage of me starting my janitorial business. I left a card and brochure in hopes you would give me an opportunity to clean your buildings. I never imagined it would be the beginning of a friendship that extended over two decades. You were a light in my life that allowed me to see there are still good people in this world. 

I am grateful to have met you. I am blessed to have called you my friend. You have shown me the importance of kindness. You have shown me how important those around you are and NEVER take them for granted. 

When you called me last week to clean your patio furniture. I could hear the weakness in your voice and I knew it was your way of saying goodbye. I am appreciative I had the opportunity to speak with you one more time, and I will forever cherish our friendship. It is not goodbye my friend but I will see you later. Until we meet again, WC

I met John over 25 years ago when he helped me with buying my first office building. The experience was so positive with him that I purchased a few more. Over the years we developed a friendship that I'll truly miss. I trusted him 100% and never attended a board meeting, always giving him my proxy to vote the way he saw fit. His guidance to me throughout the years was always spot on. He was smart, funny, genuine and a truly wonderful person. I feel blessed to have known him. 

We are so very sorry to hear of John passing.  We have only met in our neighborhood  and enjoyed chatting   He will be missed by all. Our deepest condolences to Lucy and family.

I met John 20 years ago while he was jogging down Bowen rd in front of the Stonegate community entrance where he lived at the time.   

We were cutting the grass and  he asked if we would be interested installing landscape on his new construction projects.  We installed the landscape on all his projects. 

 Up to this day we are maintaining the landscape of many of his properties that he developed and built.  

John helped us build our business into the multi million dollar business it is today.

I  will miss our conversations on the phone and on his properties.

John was a Mentor & friend and I will always think of him when looking at the crystal blue waters.

We knew John for much too short a time. John and Lucy moved into our neighborhood a few years ago. Once we met, we quickly became friends, good friends, it was as if we had known them a long time. John always had a smile and an attentive ear for whatever subject you wanted to discuss. He loved to laugh, share stories and enjoy life. 

John had an optimistic view of life, and his attitude, even though he knew his time was limited, was an inspiration. When our time comes, we will remember the graceful way John exited this earth. 

Some say, a person is known by the friends he keeps. If this is true, then our reputation has been greatly enhanced by our friendship with John Hintz. May his memory be long lived.

We had the privilege of knowing John for a little over 17 years. Our son married his daughter in 2005.  We all immediately became family.  He would always welcome us with his big hugs and open arms. John always had a smile on his face and a story to tell. He loved getting people together for a great time. He was  the heart beat of  the party and family get togethers.   John loved his kids and especially his grandkids more than life itself.  He was extremely proud of all of their accomplishments .John was a wonderful man, husband, father, grandfather, and friend to so many. John was definitely one of a kind and he will be missed . 
Love,
Mike and Suzzie Thieke

My sincere condolences to Lucy and Johns family. As well as Nancy’s daughter who truly loved John as well. 
My husband and I met John over 12 years ago in the Bahamas. 
We loved his laughter and sense of humor. 
John was such a special man. 
We are heart broken over his passing. 
Still can not believe he is gone. 
I know he is watching over everyone. 
A true man of strength and wisdom. 
John will be greatly missed. 
Lucy we will always treasure your friendship. 
John loved you very much. 


I had the pleasure of knowing John for 20 + years. He was always one I could call on for any reason whatsoever. He was also the one who talked me into starting my own business and offered me advise on the ins and outs of running a business. Through that relationship we became close friends, I can remember us talking, laughing and cuttin up on jobsite where I eventually told him he would have to stay home while I fixed the A/c units because if he was there I was gonna be late the rest of the day.  RIP my friend I know I will see you again one day. 

I was one of grandpa John’s first grandchildren, and I will always be his little girl. He had always been a big part of my life and made me who I am
today. He will forever hold a big place in my part. I love you. 

I would remember John fondly as a pious soul. Always yearning to help, he had this captivating persona endearing one and all by looking at other’s perspective. His disarming smile brought magical comfort at all times. A solution oriented inveterate optimist, John lived life king-size. He will continue to be an inspiration while he finds peace in his heavenly abode. 

Love you John….
Your sincere friend, 
Dr. Sharma

We only knew John for a short while. He was a great human being and great neighbor. Always had time to say hello and talk. Very interesting to talk to and loved Lucy!  We will miss his smiling face.  Dale and Debbie.
