He was married in 1942 to Janice Scowcroft (1918- )
=====
"I was born lucky! To the union of excellent parents- Robert H. Hinckley and Abrelia Clarissa Seely Hinckley- on 12th January 1917 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah at the home of John H. Seely. As the first Hinckley grandchild, I was a birthday present for my Grandmother Hinckley. I was blessed with a sound and proud pioneer heritage.
I grew up in Ogden during the Great Depression. As a janitor at Robert H. Hinckley, Inc., I swept around a 1933 Dodge Sedan on the show room floor for 11 months before I finally sold it.
While attending Ogden High School, I met a charming young lady by the name of Janice Scowcroft. I graduated from Ogden High School in 1936, attended Stanford University in 1937 and graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1942. Life has been good for me, but the very best part of my life began eight years after high school, when I was able to convince Miss Scowcroft that this young Westpointer was the best teammate for her.
Then came World War II, The Army Air Corps, B-24's, England, VE Day, VJ Day, life in the Air Force and the Dodge automobile business in Salt Lake City. Out of all of this quality time came four wonderful dividends in the form of great citizens: Robert H. Hinckley, III, oil analyst in New York City; James S. Hinckley, Dodge Dealer in Salt Lake City and Ogden; Dr. Scott S. Hinckley, owner of a small animal clinic in Anchorage, Alaska; Kristin H. Yeager, owner-operator of the Garden of Eden Welsh Pony and Arabian horse farm in Eden, Utah. What enormous dividends these great children have been.
I was born lucky. I lived lucky. I have had no problems in this world; I have had only opportunities. I have always had enough to eat, bags o'fun and great family experiences all with the finest teammate one could ever have- Janice Scowcroft Hinckley. We have loved each other and life together for 63 years.
Oh yes, I had the fun of enjoying nine of the friendliest Arabian horses that the breed has produced."
Robert Hinckley is survived by his wife Janice, sons Robert (Diana Busch), James (Lyn Cushman), and Scott (Anne McCullough), daughter Kristin (James Yeager), nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple at 12:00 noon on Thursday, October 27th.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers donations may be made to: Hinckley Institute of Politics, 260 S Central Campus Dr. Rm. 253, Salt Lake City, UT 84112-9151; Abrelia Seely Hinckley Scholarship Fund, Weber State University, Development Office, 4018 University Circle, Ogden, UT 84408-4018; Edwin S. Hinckley Scholarship Fund, Brigham Young University, A-41 ASB, Provo, UT 84602; Seely-Hinckley Scholarship Fund, Utah State University, 1420 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322-1420.
