Wilbur Earl Hendrix, of Molino, FL went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, July 31, 2010 at the age of 76. Born on October 30, 1933, Wilbur was a life long resident of Molino.

A man of God and family, Wilbur will be remembered by those who knew him best as someone who worked with his hands his entire life. Wilbur was creative and inventive, able to find ingenious solutions, and could always be looked to when something needed repairing, even after his fingers and wrist had to be repaired. He was always willing to help anyone in need of finding a problem with automobiles, lawn mowers and equipment, even traveling strangers who needed help. He never turned his back on anyone who needed his help.
Wilbur had a reputation in his community for demonstrating integrity and precision in all of his actions. He, along with four other Molino residents, organized and founded the Molino Volunteer Fire Department. Wilbur was elected Molino’s first fire chief and served in that position until 1970 when health problems forced him to step down from this role.
In 1968, Wilbur and his wife Carolyn founded Hendrix Lawn and Cycle and Hendrix Service Center. Together they owned and operated this very successful community based business for over 38 years. Wilbur loved to travel and together he and Carolyn had the opportunity to travel to all 50 states, Canada and Prince Edward Island.
