The second photograph, shows Hinche} with the Kilties Band, on the right. In 1940 he was made a di- rector of the Deacon Brothers company. Walter Aselstine was a close friend of Hinchey's. By no coin- cidence, Aselstine was also a well-known local musician. Hinchey died unexpectedly of a heart attack Oct. 5, 1952, at 66. The list of friends from musical and military outfits who attended his funeral in- cluded many from outside the city, some who had travelled great distances to say good- bye to their old comrade. The last line in The Ontario Intelligencer's story on the fu- neral and final tribute to Hinchey, held at Christ Church, reads, "May the kindly earth rest gently on the mortal remains of Reg Hinchey, a good soldier and good friend." Profile Looking serious, sometime in the 1920s.
