My deepest sympathy for the entire Kinkus family, and to his friends as well. John was a brother Millwright with my father Thomas F. Graziani.He was a great man with an infectious smile who I had always looked up to and admired. He always made me feel like one of the guys when I was around he and my father.The greatest memory of him was when he took me for a ride in his white Trans Am at the Labor Day parade while blaring "Rock you like a hurricane" by the Scorpions.! Something a young boy would not soon forget! He will be greatly missed by all that had the privilege of knowing and working with him. Rest easy Kinkman!!!

“Kink“ was a friend of my Dad’s. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My only memories of when he visited are of him being a smiling, friendly, funny guy. That’s how he will always be remembered. There is a quote that says “Every man dies, but not every man really lives.” I think, judging by the stories my Dad would tell, that he really lived life to the fullest while he was here. Rest in peace forever John, you will always be remembered with a smile<3

Johnny was a unique person, a good Millwright and good trivia player.The times we worked together were spent usually talking about bikes or cars or people but not usually work.We had a good game of "Who would you rather Do?" the last time we buddied together on the dryer floor at the Hatfield scrubber.Johnny often had a different point of view of things and I always enjoyed being around him. He was a nice friend.

So sorry to hear of John’s passing. My condolences to his family, Although I have not seen my millwright brother for a while his memory will always be with me. Man, what a great guy, always willing to share his opinion, strong as it was, which strengthened his character. He supported me in my time of need and I am forever grateful for that. I always enjoyed our time together, May he Rest In Peace.
