The son of Roscoe and Anna Rose Magrum Hinkle was born May 15, 1952 in Toledo, Ohio. In 1967 he and his family moved to Oklahoma. They made their home in the Claremore area. As he became older he learned to weld. He became employed with Bradem Steel, where he worked for several years. Later he became a skilled mason, laying rock and brick for many people in the area. In his spare time he loved to work on old cars and trucks, build things in his shop, ride motorcycles and fish, but most of all he loved being with his children and grandchildren.
