I worked under Pinky a couple of times on the West Colton pull downs. Pinky was nuts and a complete jerk. I worked with Pinky's dad, also a yardmaster, who was a nice guy, who was not on good terms with his son, many times in LA.

Pinky was such a petty and vindictive jerk, that the unions had written up many of the instances of his abuse of subordinate employee's, including ordering them to do unsafe moves...

IIRC Pinky's own family even sued the SP for negligence in not removing him from job, before someone finally snapped and killed him.

West Colton was a terrible place to work, Pinky just made it so much worse. This guy finished his miserable shift with Pinky steaming, and the way I heard it was he polished off a half a bottle, snapped completely, got his gun out of the glove compartment, and shot Pinky.
