Jack “Tinker” dedicated years to collecting pop tabs to support Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central Illinois, inspiring friends and family to join him in his mission. After his passing, loved ones continued his tradition, creating gifts in his memory that will help families stay close when their children need care most.

“Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the Ronald McDonald House. We really enjoyed the visit, and it meant so much to make a donation in my father’s memory… Hopefully that will encourage others to continue to support your important work.” – Jenni Kielion

Tinker’s commitment demonstrates how one person’s dedication can make a lasting impact on countless families. We are deeply grateful to his family for sharing his story and helping carry forward his meaningful legacy.
