Paul was born in Barre, Vermont on December 17, 1948 the son of Elmer and Dorothy (Schneider) Fink. When Skippy was 2 years old he climbed into the medicine cabinet and drank camphorated oil after doing this it blinded him and shrunk his brain.

Skip was preceded in death by his parents, and his three siblings, Mary, Jim and John. Graveside services were held at Lake View Memorial Park in Oshkosh.

I wish I had known how close he was. I would have loved to meet my cousin. He was thought of so often.
