Robert left behind his children, Wayne Brinkman of St. Louis, MO, Greg Brinkman of Tacoma, WA, Nancy Kido (Paul) of Des Moines, WA and Pamela Brinkman of Guyton, GA, He had 10 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, one great-great grandson and many bonus grandchildren.  

Bob still had the smile that we know and love on his face when he left for the operating room. 

We all love and miss you very much!
