William Rinker Obituary

WILLIAM H. RINKER

William H. Rinker, 77, a resident of Superior, Montana for 26 years, went home to be with the Lord on October 3, 2025.

Bill was born and raised in Salem, Oregon. He was proceeded in death by his mother and father. He served proudly in the U.S. Navy.

After the service, he drove truck over the highway for many years and just recently said there were only 8 out of 50 states he has not been in.

Bill was a member of Mountain Lodge #110.

He knew his life was ending and he was looking forward to his final trip to see Jesus and reunite with family and friends.

His friends and neighbors will miss him.

There will be a private graveside service at a later date.
