Uncle Ron,
A quiet, unassuming man of great intelligence and wit. An uncle who strove to keep the wandering Finks in touch! We will miss you.
P.S. You are the inspiration for my attempt to put together a family tree.

Our extended family sends our love and condolences to all of you. Uncle Ron will be fondly remembered by us as a very wise yet unassuming gentleman who found great pleasure in his family and his teaching career. He lived out his faith with great humility.

Uncle Ron was a gentle man who loved life and his family. He created special memories when he hosted a summer family reunion for many of the Finks at his home. He made the best hamburgers and tapioca pudding! His gentle spirit will be missed. Love and prayers to all. Cynthia (Cinnie Fink) Barber.
