Lenox was nicknamed Smoky because he had coal-black hair until the day he died. He was called Uncle Dink by his nieces and nephews. His middle name was also spelled Lafayette in some sources; that was his father's middle name.

He was known for his sweet temper and remembered for many years after his death as one of the nicest men you could ever meet. He loved to fish. He was adored by his grandchildren.

He was a WW I veteran and a retired oil field worker.

Survivors included his widow; one son, Lee Olan Hinton, Caspar, Wyo; one daughter; his mother Mrs. Beulah Jordan, Gary; one sister, Mrs. Tressie Cozart, Gary; one brother, Staff Sgt Chalmer Hinton, U.S. Air Corps, stationed in England; and four grandchildren. Grandson William Lee Hinton died in 1962. [All named survivors have since passed.]
