Paul "Gary" Vinkovich, age 68, of Bainbridge Township, formerly of Mentor, passed away Dec. 9, 2008, at Kensington Care Center in Aurora.
Mr. Vinkovich was a former employee of Kinetico in Newbury, and was previously co-owner of Vink's Golf Course and Motel in Mentor.
Gary is survived by his wife, Margo; daughter, Cait Murray; son, Neil Vinkovich; granddaughters, Jacqui, Eve and Annika; grandson, Liam; stepdaughter, Kelly (Tod) Benson; stepsons, Michael (Traci) Felton and Sean Felton; step-granddaughter, Abby Felton; and sisters, Carol (Harvey) Shaw and Virginia (Gil) Wagstaff.
According to Gary's final wishes, there will be no visitation nor services.
A private burial of his ashes will be at a later date.
Gary's family, friends and his skeet gun were the three most important things in his life. He wished he could have stayed longer, but he cherished the time he did have with all of us.
The only thing Gary asked of everyone, was to stop for a moment, think of a story between you and him -- then smile.
If people can do that, then he knows he left a wonderful mark on others.
