Obituary's Biography:
Donald L. Hintz, age 72, a resident of Wauconda, passed away on June 7, 2022 at Journey Care Hospice Center in Barrington. He was born on April 6, 1950 in Chicago to Willis and Eveleen Hintz. Don graduated from Grayslake Community High School Class of ’68 and thereafter the College of Lake County. He retired at age 66 from Tredegar in Lake Zurich. Don was a kind, loving and benevolent person. He repeatedly showed love by his ongoing commitment and dedication to his family, friends and neighbors. He was a relentless giver; an earth angel. He was as sharp as a tack and could fix anything, to say the least, from cars to toys! He was truly loved and admired by all who knew him, and will be dearly missed.
Don was survived by his wife, Chris, of 19 years whom he married on March 15, 2003 in Kona, Hawaii; his children, Amanda (Jon) Thomas of Colorado Springs, CO, Jessica (Dan) Zimmerman of West Palm Beach, FL, and Jeremiah (Sabrina) Hintz of DeSoto, IL; (his step-children), Aimee (Tom) Renkes and Kevin Lindh; his grandchildren, Nolan, Harry, Quinn, Rosalindh, Bob, and Tara; his siblings, Dianne Daley of Rochelle, IL, Judy (Gary) Boyd of Trempealeau, WI, Jeanette (Bert) Adams of Waynesburg, KY, Sue (Dave) Janusz of Fox Lake, IL, and Sandy (Bob) Kofoed of Gurnee, IL. He was preceded in death by his father, Willis Hintz and his mother, Eveleen Hintz who was 98 years old, and who also recently passed away just 3 hours after Don.

I was shocked and very much saddened when I heard of Don’s passing. Another good man gone too soon. Although life drew us apart, he was a good friend. One of my best. His family is in my prayers.
This is such sad news. Don was always instrumental in organizing and working our class reunions. He was a true leader of the Class of ‘68. He will be remembered for his friendships to so many. Rest in peace, Don.
Don was such a nice guy and he always had that smile too. He will be missed by many people. My condolences to Chris and his family.
Don was a very helpful and kind person and loved fixing things and he loved miniature trains. I know he always was there to help his neighbor.
We are so sorry to hear about Don. Chris, know that we are thinking about you and his family!
So sorry to hear Don died so young. He did alot along with Christine on our class reunions. Another classmate gone..to soon.
We wish we could have met Don, as he made people we love so happy. To Chris, the Renkes Family and Kevin: We send our sincerest sympathy and love to all of you on your great loss.
Gone too soon—so sad to hear this news. I remember Don as a quiet, shy and gentle soul on earth. May he Rest In Peace in the arms of the angels. 🙏

“To Chris and the entire Hintz family, We were saddened to learn of Don’s passing. We will always remember him and his laugh and recall some of the great conversations we would have, political and otherwise. We can revel in the fact that he is now with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ safe in his realm and that someday we will all be together again so we can again try to solve some of the worlds problems. What a good man…May God bless you Chris and the entire Hintz family.
