Tinker was born in Putney on October 28, 1932, to the late Ted and Thelma Wolfe Bostic. He was a retired Surveyor with US Steel and a member of Point Lick Gospel Tabernacle. Tinker had the smoothest and sweetest tenor voice and sang for many years with The Kings Journeymen. We will miss hearing that voice, but as he sang so many times, “I’ll Met You in The Morning.”
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 58 years, Phyllis “Toots” Bostic; brother, John Bostic; and son-in-law, Terry Williams.
Tinker is survived by his children, Karen Williams, Lea Ann Bostic, Renee Vanhoose and Chris (Kelli) Bostic; sister, Joann Holstein; grandchildren, Lauren Krisher, Olivia (Jonathon) Henry, Maggie (John Byrd) Vanhoose and Ryan Vanhoose and their father, Steve Vanhoose, Garrett (Joslyn Fairchild) Bostic and Allison Bostic; six great-grandchildren and one little girl on the way; many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday July 16, 2021 at Point Lick Gospel Tabernacle on Point Lick Drive on Campbells Creek with Pastor Larry Campbell officiating.
