I remember Mr. Linck as a steady presence at Central Market and as a neighbor down the street on 8th street. My condolences to Bonnie and Becky.

Don and I worked together at Central Market in 1958.  He was a GREAT MENTOR and work mate.  We talked alot and when I got married and left Boulder -- on my return trips to Boulder I always tried to stop and see him at Central Market.  It was great to know such a Super man.  He was one of the hardest workers I knew.

So sorry to hear of his passing.  I know he will be missed by all that knew him.

I worked in Central Market in 1958-60 as a bag boy and later drove the delivery truck.  I remember Don as a cool guy to work with.  I am surprised on how he spelled his last name.  Anyway those were good days.  I'll always thhink about them.
