John Hyink Obituary
Sheboygan - John R. Hyink of Fond du Lac, passed away peacefully at his home on Sunday, May 27 at the age of 77. John was born August 30, 1939 in Sheboygan, to the late Harley and Nell (Schrier) Hyink. He graduated from Kohler Public School in 1957. On October 10, 1964, he was united in marriage to Lynnette Hochwitz which preceded him in death on December 15, 2012. On April 5, 2016, he married Sally Scott of Fond du Lac.
He began well drilling at a young age which led him to being the 2nd generation owner of Hyink Well Drilling. He was a member of the Wisconsin Well Association for over 50 years, Vice Commodore of the Sheboygan Yacht Club, and veteran of the U.S. Army. John loved helping others, working on projects, and being in the outdoors. During the summer, he would spend countless hours fishing on Lake Michigan as well as numerous trips down to Florida for saltwater fishing. In addition, he enjoyed entertaining and barbequing for family and friends while trying out his new recipes.
John is survived by his wife Sally Scott; his daughters Kimberly Copeskey (Marty Roamer) of Menomonee Falls and Stacy (Dan) Nack of Sheboygan Falls; his sons Tyler and Ryan of Sheboygan; his sister Mary Jones of Austin, Texas; and his grandchildren Hannah, Lia, Hailey, McKayla, Ashlee, Gabriel, and Liam.
As John wished he will have a close family service at Greenlawn Memorial Chapel following with a celebration of life for friends and family at the Sheboygan Yacht Club, Friday June 1 from 4 to 7 PM . A memorial fund has been established.
