Mrs. Hink, Vince, John and Gary, I was very sorry to learn about your Dad's death. He was a great friend of mine and my parents, and I always enjoyed exchanging Navy stories with him. We will all miss seeing him on Brighton Place, and Ocean City will not be the same without him. My mother, my father, my brother Mike and my sister Sue are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. Sincerely, Bill, Jr.
