I had the pleasure of working with Pinky one summer on the I-215 project in the 1970s. One of the nicest guys I've ever met.

I loved Pinky!!! He was so caring and loving.
He came in my dad’s cafe, pretty much everyday. (Goodwin’s Lehi Cafe) He always had a smile on his face. I never ever in all the years I knew him, heard him say a bad word about anyone.
What a wonderful man!!! He will be missed.
My prayers go out to his family.

Pinky was a very good man. He was always friendly. He was always supportive to his daughters and his granddaughter. He and Carol remained friends until she passed. Funny thing about Pinky is he was always in search of the perfect ride for him lol. He had many friends and that's a sign of a good person. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Pinky was a Tri City Golf Course regular and a loyal friend to JET. After Jimmy’s eyesight dimmed, he drove Jimmy to PGA events, doctor appointments, Oregon and California, hunting in Fruitland, and kept in touch with all his golf friends. It was always a joy to visit on the phone or go to lunch with him because he always took an interest in our family, activities, and friends. We never lacked laughter or conversation. He will be missed.
