Mary and family,
Add us to the list of Clarkston neighbors and friends who admired Tink and his work ethic. He always had a smile and a greeting even though we didn't have a close relationship. Very professional in his response to a small home fire we had in the mid 60s.
You can all be justly proud of him. Prayers for peace in cherishing the memories.

Tink was a well respected individual in the community. I worked under him as a volunteer fireman. He worked effortlessly for the town of Clarkston.
