Dear Glenda,
What a beautiful picture of Dr. Hink. I will miss him but I am comforted knowing he is in the arms of Our Lord resting in peace. I will keep Dr. Hink and you in my prayers everyday.
With love to you and your family now and always.
Glenda, he was truly unique. We so enjoyed all
our time with y’all. Wish we could have taken
that cruise together. He told Jimmy so many times
he wanted to ‘fly just one more time’. Guess
God needed a fresh pilot. Soar with Angels Burt.
Rest In Peace, Dr. Hink.
You will be missed
Truly a legend. Skills as a surgeon were quite phenomenal. He will be greatly missed. I miss seeing him ride his bike around town.
One of the best technical surgeons I ever saw and extremely dedicated to his patients making rounds twice a day. We enjoyed playing tennis on our lunch hour many times. Sorry for your loss Glenda.
