So sorry to hear the sad news . Mr. Pinkney as he was known to us was such a wonderful man and father figure. Growing up as neighbours I always enjoyed his football stories and calm demeanor. With deepest sympathy to the family during this time.

Mr. Pinkney was a special person to me as I grew up.(along with the whole family) I can remember having fun playing cards,Yahtzee or tossing a football to one another. He also took time from his busy family schedule to help me with my high school math.
Although I haven’t seen him as often in latter years it was always great to spend time with him.
He is someone that I respect and will always admire.
He will be missed.

Most sincere sympathy to Barbara and the family and his siblings June and Thomas. A wonderful role model and educator. You should be proud of his service and caring ways. It must be a family trait as I also had the pleasure of working with June when she was a VP..again dedication and fairness prevailed.. .traits they shared.
A loss to all but may your memories of him bring some comfort. Verna
