Dear Smoke Signals:
We would like to thank everyone for all of your support over the past
year and especially the prayers and kindness during these last few weeks.
Wink was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather,
uncle and friend to all and loved this Tribe very much.
First off, thank you to Bruce Workman and everyone at Dallas Mortu-
ary and Bollman Funeral Home for making all of the arrangements and
coordinating the service. The service put on from start to fi nish made it a
special day that we will never forget.
Thank you to the Tribe’s Member Services Department and for the burial
fund that we are so grateful to receive.
Thank you to the Tribe’s Recreation and Facilities departments for
providing us the gym for the service.
Thank you to the Elders Committee for allowing us to use the Elders
Activity Center for the reception. Thank you to those who catered and
prepared food for the reception.
Thank you to the Groundskeeping staff at the cemetery as well as the
family and friends who assisted in preparing the gravesite.
Thank you to Father Zani and Deacon David Briedwell for offi ciating the
Rosary Service, Mass and the Memorial Service. Thank you to the veterans
and for beautiful military ceremonies during the service.
Most importantly, thank you to the Grand Ronde Tribal community as
well as all of our family and friends as well as anybody else we didn’t men-
