Graveside services will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday in Llano Cemetery with Monsignor Francis A. Smyer of St. Mary's Catholic Church officiating. Arrangements are by Schooler Funeral Home, 4100 S. Georgia St.
Mr. Hinton was born in Shelby County, Ill., on March 1, 1905. He married Berniece Francoise Bissonette on Feb. 18, 1928, in Kankakee, Ill.
He was raised on a farm and attended grade school and high school in a one- room school house. He studied engineering at the University of Illinois and went on to a career in the petroleum industry where he was recognized as an expert on production and reserve.
He moved to Amarillo in 1945 but left to serve as vice president of Production for Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company. He left Panhandle in 1955 and returned to Amarillo where he formed Consulting Services and spent the next 35 years as a consultant to major oil and gas companies.
Over his 50-plus years in the oil and gas industry, Mr. Hinton appeared as a witness before numerous state regulatory commissions, state and federal courts, the U.S. Tax Court, The U.S. Court of Claims, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Canadian Energy Board.
He was a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, National Society of Professional Engineers, The American Petroleum Institute, The Independent Petroleum Association of America, the Texas Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association and the Panhandle Geological Society.
Mr. Hinton also was very instrumental in establishing the Helium Monument. He was proud to be a resident of Amarillo for 50 years and a member of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church.
Survivors include a daughter, Jayne Hinton Gross and husband, Jerry, of the Woodlands; three sons, Boyd Hinton and wife, Maelyn, of Corpus Christi, Peter Hinton and wife, Mary, of Berkeley, Calif., and Mike Hinton and wife, Carolyn of Kingwood; a sister, Jayne McHenry, born in 1900, of Harlingen; 15 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be to a favorite charity.
