Mr. Binkley was a very kind and nice man. He cared enough to hire a college student like me and I will alway appreciate that. He gave me a chance to better my future, and that says so much!!! Even though we had very few words, he will be missed. My prayers go out to the family and friends. I pray that his legacy will continue on brave and strong. That he is remembered for his kindness and compassion, smiling face and loving character.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I am very thankful that Mr. Binkley was a part of my life. While being employed at his company, not only did I learn a lot and gain much needed experience, I was given a new family when part of mine was taken away. If there is anything that I can do, please let me know.
