Ball Park Floral 8 Valley Ave. When reflecting on the life of Robert Rinck, it is so easy to see that he was not a man who was concerned about the things of this world, rather, he had his sights set on the things from above.
He was a faith-filled and honorable man who loved his country, his family, and his Lord. Bob was completely devoted to his family and taught us that although loved ones may not always agree, family is held together by a lifetime of selfless love and heartfelt acts of kindness. The timeless legacy Bob leaves behind will be carried on through the lives of the younger generations of loved ones who made him so very proud.
The year is often remembered as the year that our nation and much of the world spiraled down into the depths of the Great Depression after the crash of the stock market in October of that year.
It was just after that memorable day that a young couple from Grand Rapids, Michigan, was doubly blessed with the births of twin sons, including Robert James, on November 22nd. He was one of four children born to his parents, Gustave A. He was raised in a Dutch, Lutheran, Democratic, and liberal environment with rich family ties.
Bob and his siblings used to help pick fruits and vegetables for their father, and for fun family time they vacationed in nearby Holland. Their family often sang together around the piano, and Bob was blessed with a rich tenor voice. As a young man Bob joined the Navy, on September 21, , but he made a switch to the Air Force just six months later. From there he went on to Sacramento for pilot training, but the Air Force realized that he would be a huge asset as a navigator. In Bob was sent to North Dakota, and it was there that he met the woman of his dreams.
