Former Kingston City Manager Jim Pinkerton died Thursday, Feb. 7, after battling a lengthy illness.
Pinkerton is one of Kingston’s longest serving managers, serving from 2001 until his retirement in 2013.
“He was just a great guy, a good man to work for. He treated his employees good,” said Kingston Police Chief Jim Washam.
Prior to joining the staff at Kingston, Pinkerton was an engineer, which he had used to the city’s benefit.
