Life Story / Obituary


Print

Bob Brink, a Kalamazoo native with a sharp wit and a generous spirit, built a remarkable life shaped by grit, humor, service, and a deep devotion to family - rooted in hard work and an unwavering love of sports and radio. A Vietnam veteran decorated with a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, he enjoyed a long career in radio and years spent cheering on Western Michigan University sports, traveling for good food, and creating unforgettable adventures for his kids. A selfless, generous, and unmistakably candid man who served as an Otsego County commissioner, Rotarian, and proud VFW member, Bob left behind a legacy of loyalty, laughter, and the steady reliability of someone you could always count on.
