Also pay tribute to him for the immeasurable <br /> • contribution that he played in the formation of the HRA, and the years of service as <br /> chairperson, that he gave to the City of Elk River. <br /> A man of clear-thinking that looked at each item before the HRA from its merit and benefit <br /> to the city on a whole. Without going into long speeches he could put most everything into <br /> perspective and it made sense. <br /> As member of the HRA I hope that I can speak of the other members to say that he has <br /> been and will be deeply missed. The city has lost a great leader, but most of all we have lost <br /> a good friend. The city and the world has been a better place for having Dick Hinkle in it. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Larry Toth <br /> HRA Chairperson" <br /> • <br />
