We are greatly saddened for the entire family for the loss of this great man. Dr. Zink was not only a talented oral surgeon, a veteran that fought unselfishly for his country, had a witty sense of humor and was a loving husband and father. He will be remembered and missed by many. Love Tom and Val Kuhn
