Mr. Wink was one of my bosses at the Morgan Machine Co, on University Ave, in the City of Rochester, from 1968 to 1978. He was a good boss, never gave anyone any trouble. During the winter, we used to tease him that they were going to shut down 490. So we better leave soon to go home. He usually let us leave early. My sincere sympathy to the family.

I've known Dave since the mid 1980's when he was the City of Canandaigua's representative on our County Planning Board and I provided staff support to the board. When he moved to the Town of Canandaigua it was a pleasant surprise when he returned to the County Planning Board as the the town's rep for the past several years. Dave always had the good of the community in mind when making decisions on that volunteer board. I'll miss his sense of humor, especially the banter we would get going having known each other for so long, and the board will miss the meaningful historical perspective Dave brought to every discussion. Rest in Peace Dave.
