He was a lifelong member of the St. Joseph Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. He enjoyed spending time with his family and traveling, as well as telling stories and bad jokes. He was a true outdoorsman who loved to fish, hunt, trap and float the river. He never met a stranger. God was holding Tink’s hand when he passed away.
