Tink spent his life working on cars and loved to spend time with his family and friends. He loved the outdoors and spent many times camping and fishing on the New River. He loved anything that involved automobiles, from racing to autobody repair, restoration, and painting, which he did with his brothers and friends, and that was some of his happiest days. He shared a smile and would lend a hand to those in need. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a son, Michael Richmond, two daughters, Tammy Raines and Rachel Raines; a brother, Bud Redden; a sister, Norma West; and beloved spouse, Linda Burgess.
