Jeffrey W. Hines, Loving Husband, Brother, Uncle, and all-around Good Friend

Allegany- Jeffrey W. Hines died peacefully, Thursday, June 26, 2025, at Olean General Hospital, surrounded by his loving family after a brief illness.

Jeff was born in Olean on September 26, 1957, at St. Francis Hospital, the son of the late Robert and M. Joyce (Wilson) Hines. On September 27, 1980, in St. Bonaventure Church in Allegany, he married the former Susan Nolan, who survives.

He graduated from Olean High School in 1976 and completed several evening computer courses at JCC, as well as numerous industry training courses related to his work at Dresser Rand/Siemens over the years. Prior to his retirement, he was employed as a Technical Writer for Dresser Rand/Siemens, spanning 40 years. He enjoyed the work associated with the industry as well as the day-to-day interactions with his coworkers, many he considered friends.

Jeff was a member of the Portville Conservation Club and the Olean Car Club. He was passionate about restoration and buying/selling classic cars over his lifetime. Jeff was very proud of the charitable donations raised by the local car shows he participated in, especially those in support of research by the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
