Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you Dad as a new year begins. You would have been so dismayed at the state of the world, but would we have had some great conversations! Love you always, thanks for always holding the bar high and inviting civil discourse and meaningful discussion.

On my first visit to Yale to discuss media coverage of the university, I met Stanley Flink. I was knocked out by him. And all these years later I still remember the experience of meeting such an extraordinary man. My special condolences to his wife and the rest of their family.

Fond memories of Stan when he was in Jim Fogarty's wedding in 1951.

Dearest Joy and all Flink family members. I just saw Stan's obituary and would like to express my deepest sadness. My husband, Hans Isbrandtsen, and I very much enjoyed meeting you, Joy, and having dinner with you and Stan at Mory's reminiscing about good ol' Yale days when he and my father, Jim Fogarty, were roommates. What an accomplished, brilliant and funny man he was! Sending love to you all. Kathy Fogarty and Hans Isbrandtsen

wasn't it wonderful to have women at Yale? the 70's were the best times we had. by Mary Chen '78

Although we were from different generations, I was an avid reader of Mr. Flink's Yale Alumni Magazine 1945W Alumni Class Notes. He was a Wise Man.

When Stanley came, with Steve driving him to George Feifer's memorial service three years ago, his talk about their 'salad days' in London, left the whole room in stiches, utterly enchanted by his humor and charm. I would have loved to have him live forever! Barbara Ungeheuer

My dad lived life 110%, and all of us in the family bask in his energy, mindfulness, strong intellect , sense of humor and great looks-what a guy!

Young Stanley doing what he did best. Missing you. Donations can be made to the Aurelian Honor Society, c/o Yale Graduate Club, 155 Elm St, New Haven, CT 06520
