Everyone was sad to learn of the passing of Dick Zink, former Hillsboro mayor and council member.

Dick came to The Times-Gazette’s sports banquet in June and it was nice to talk with him for a few minutes. He still exhibited his trademark good humor. Condolences to his family and his many friends.

Services will be held at the Hillsboro Church of Christ Saturday, Aug. 25 at 3 p.m. Friends can call at the church Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. The Rhoads-Edgington Funeral Home is handling arrangements.

Contributions may be made to Community Care Hospice, P.O. Box 123, Wilmington, Ohio 45177; or Highland County Animal Shelter, 9331 SR 124 Hillsboro, Ohio 45133.
