Well, if Mr. Hintz’s life doesn’t exemplify a life well lived, I don’t know what does. He left a profound effect on so many of his students at OHS. Even after all these years  (50), I can still see his larger-than-life smile upon entering his  classroom…he loved his work, his students, and was passionate about sharing his gift with others. I always looked forward to entering  the doors of his classroom, his enthusiasm was contagious. I can’t imagine the number of students whose lives were changed/bettered due to his encouragement and belief in them. We were so blessed. My deepest sympathies to  his family and friends…all who are grieving the loss of this amazing human being.
