Hans Fink Obituary

Hans Ludwig Fink, 82, departed this life peacefully at home with family by his side on February 22, 2018. Hans was born in Leer, Germany, in 1935 to Franz Fink and Mathilde Jung Fink and was a brother to an older sister, Marie Luise (MarLu) Fink (deceased). He apprenticed to become a Master Baker in Germany and moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1960. He opened a bakery, La Bonbonniere, in 1966 and enjoyed perfecting his craft there for 36 years. Hans lived in Metairie, Louisiana, and is survived by his wife of 50 years, Dolores Fink; his two daughters, Ingrid Fos (husband, Chris) and Jessica Netto (husband, Chad); and three grandchildren, Sydney Fos, Fiona Netto, and Dahlia Netto. It was his wish to donate his body for medical research. A celebration of his life will be held at St. Ann Church in Metairie on March 3rd with a visitation at 10 a.m. and a mass following at 11 a.m. Hans will be remembered with love by his family and friends for his good humor and his warm and generous heart.

Hans was a special friend! He lit up the room when he entered it. I miss him dearly but he is in my daily prayers,

And was the most memorable friend I've ever had. He was funny, interesting and generous man I've ever met. He was loved by all who knew him in E.J. Pulmonary Rehab and will never be forgotten by us!

Mein herzliches Beileid, liebe Dolores, zum Tod von Hans Ludwig.
Ich bin sehr traurig, aber trage immer mit Stolz den Hut von Hans Ludwig, den er mir an meinem Geburtstag geschenkt hat, als er hier war. So habe ich immer eine Verbindung zu ihm. Familie Lütkemeier war auch auf meinem Geburtstag.
Ich bin ein alter Freund von Christ Wild. Dolores, wir haben nur einmal kurz
miteinander gesprochen. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Kraft um den Verlust zu überwinden.
Wir werden Hans immer in Erinnerung behalten.
