He will be dearly missed by all with his contagious laugh and his ability to have a great time partying with the young and old. His passions were his garden, giving out advice and being with his family. Private burial rites will be at the Brinck family plot in the Winters Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests the donations be made in John's name to the Alzheimer's Association and the Honolulu Foster Botanical Gardens.
