Henry J. Hinck III

He married his high school and college sweetheart, Maurine Putnam, on Aug. 1, 1952. Their son, Daniel, was born in 1954. In 1970, Dan was killed in a motorcycle accident near home outside Hillsboro. A year later the couple adopted two young girls from South Korea, whom they named Katherine “Kate” and Joanna “Joy.” The family moved to Hayden Lake, Idaho.

Having begun his business management career at Longview Fibre, Henry later joined Tektronix. He spent the last half of his working life at Idaho Forest Industries, where he rose to VP and general manager. He and Maurine retired to Clarkston in 1992.

Henry pursued many interests throughout his life, especially fishing. For many years he collected antique stock certificates from Idaho mining companies. He recently donated his vast collection to the Idaho Historical Society. He and Maurine also enjoyed traveling, taking trips to Europe, Australia and New Zealand, an African safari, and a cruise through the Panama Canal. Back home in Clarkston, they were active members of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. Maurine died in 2011.

Besides his wife and son, Henry was preceded in death by his daughter Joy and his brother. He is survived by his daughter Kate Khavari, Denver; grandson Ali Khavari, San Diego; granddaughter Sarah Khavari, Los Angeles; sister-in-law Carole Hinck, Hillsboro; and brother-in-law the Rev. George (Terry) Putnam, Netarts, Ore.
