GEORGE LINCK Dad,

Sports have always been a part of our lives and that all started with you, and to you, sports have always been much more than winning and losing. They’ve been a platform for you to instill integrity, honor, good faith, and morals into all of those that had an opportunity to learn from and work with you. Starting with us, moving on to our lifelong friends we made while you coached us, and onto the countless others you have touched, those values have been passed on because that’s who you are as a man. Your ability to push and challenge us through teaching hard work and determination, while still allowing us to enjoy the endless fun and joy that sports brought to our lives is something that we could never give enough thanks for. So Coach, Ump, Ref, Mr. Linck, and Dad, thanks for all you have done!

Congrats on the Hall of Fame and undeniable mark you have left on this local sports community!

Love, Tyler, Jordan and Preston

George,I am so proud of you! You are a wonderful person, who has been a great husband, father, friend and role model.Congratulations on this well deserved honor!Love,Corrine
