I loved Dink very much, wish I had told him more, but I know he knew it. He was a gentle man who loved and cherished his family. He faced his sickness with much grace. My thoughts and prayers go out to Annette, Ken, Lynn, Charlie, Brittany and most of all his mom, Aunt Audrey. May God wrap his loving arms around each of you and comfort you during this time. Dink is loved by many and will truely be missed. Thinking about all of you, (Di)

I was blessed to have Dink as a true friend. He loved life and always put his family first. I will always cherish our phone conversations, fishing adventures, and going to ball games. He was a great influence in my life and will truly be missed.

Dink was a remarkable man as he went on to be with the Lord. In his last day, he displayed amazing love and grace towards his family as he comforted them and said his farewell. With humor and love, he showed what a remarkable man that he was in his final hours. He fought a brave and valiant fight and will leave behind a lasting legacy to his family and friends. Love to everyone in his family from everyone in our family. Kevin & Kitty Adams
