HINES Graveside Services for Johnny W. Hines, 71, of Monroe, LA will be held 3:00 P.M., Saturday, November 22, 2014 at Utica Cemetery in Utica, MS with Rev. Keith McVay officiating. Mr. Hines was born February 19, 1943 and passed away November 19, 2014. He graduated from Utica High School and was inducted into the hall of fame at Belhaven College and Hinds Jr. College for basketball. Johnny was a sports fanatic and loved all sports, especially anything LSU and he loved to watch game shows. He devoted his life to education and coaching, where he taught special education, was a coach and became principal after many years. Mr. Hines taught and coached at Coahoma County High, Utica and Terry High Schools. Then he became principal at Terry and Pearl High Schools. In the 80's, Mr. Hines moved to West Monroe where he coached girls basketball at West Monroe High School. He was the principal at Calhoun High School and West Ouachita High School until his retirement. Papa John was a distinguished educator who dedicated his life to enhancing the lives of his students and athletes, but he was most proud of being a husband, a father and a grandfather. He would truly get a gleem in his eye when talking about the accomplishments of his grandchildren, and made every effort to be at every activity they had. You never saw Papa John that he didn't have a smile on his face, a kind word to be said, or a wonderful story to be told.
