I am very greatful that Tink was a part of my life. Having known him since the late '60's it was always a pleasure to sit down with him to visit and to learn.
Our sincerest sympathy is extended to the family. He will be missed.

Dear Tink,
It is an honor to be part of your family, even though I have been only part of the family for a year now. Your granddaughter (my wife) Margaret spoke nothing but the world of you.
I am lucky to be married to someone that is kind, loving, beautiful, who is a descendant of such a great man.
Your humor and great dances moves will be surely missed, but now you are at peace and as you told Margaret you can now keep your Fern warm.
Love, Your Grandson-in-Law Dan
