Mr. Jinks always had a smile on his face and that is what we will remember the most. The employees of Guerins Pharmacy were sad to learn of the passing of such a wonderful person and we send our best wishes to Mrs. Jinks and the family.

I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Charleston Vet Center where we shared Marine stories. It was an honor to wear the same uniform.
