I have so many great memories of Mr. Dinkel. I practically lived at their house during my middle school and high school years and he was my second family. As a married adult my husband and I would spend Christmas Eve with the Dinkel family and when we started to have our own children there was always a Christmas memento for them. Every year when I decorate for the holidays and put my talking Santa out, a gift from them, I remember the great times we had.
We had some great times and great laughs and I will always remember the boat races with him fondly. My heart goes out to Sharon, John and Leslie and all his grandchildren. He was well loved and will be missed. RIP Mr. Dinkel, give Mrs. Dinkel a kiss for me- we love you!

I have so many great memories of good times shared with John and his wife Barbara, both in everyday life and on many vacations. He was a good man and cared deeply for his wife. I will always remember his love for, and ownership of, many beautiful cars. He will be surely missed by his family and his many friends.
