I am so sorry to the family of Mr. Rinko for your loss. He taught me to drive in 1997 and taught my daughter in 2016. Thank you for sharing him with many generations of student drivers through the years. Prayers to you at this time.

Mr. Rinko was both my photography teacher and my Driver Ed instructor. He was so fun to be around — enthusiastic and encouraging about photography, and the calmest guy in the car with four new drivers! When my own kids were learning to drive, we called him to teach them, too! So sorry to hear of his passing.

We offer our sincere sympathy to Jean, and to the entire family. John was a fine neighbor and friend, a wonderful driving instructor, and a proud family man. He and Jean are to be admired for raising such accomplished children. We will remember him as a man of firm beliefs and principles. We regret that we are unable to attend John’s viewing, as we are presently out of state. Please accept our condolences.
