Robert Charles "Bob" Lynk, 65 of Kingsport, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 27, 2024 in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville after a period of failing health. Born in Kentville, he was a son of the late Gordon and Bernice (Messom) Lynk.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brothers, Lawrence, Ronald (Gwendolyn "Gwenie" Phillips) and David Lynk; and sister, Mildred "Midge" Phillips (Freddie).
His love for his community of Kingsport started at a young age on the farm he grew up on and worked for many years of his life. When he wasn’t out working on the farm, he spent his time tending to all his gardens on the property he loved so much.
Bob and MaryAnn were avid stock car race fans and spent many summers traveling to Riverside International Speedway to enjoy the sport they loved together.
