Neil Fink Obituary

FINK

NEIL Beloved spiritual husband of Kimberly Stout. Also survived by his first love and former wife, Barbara Fink, their two sons, Darryl (Kim) Fink and Dale Fink; Neil and Kimberly's son, Wade Fink. Loving Papa Neil of Shayna (Brian) Moss and Dustin Fink. Proud great-grandfather of Paxton and Harlow Moss. Son-in-law of Joseph and Winona Stout. Brother-in-law of Shelly Stout. Also survived by his special cousin, Dr. Carl Cohen, who was always "The Marshall". Neil Fink was a compassionate friend, mentor to many young lawyers, and the last line of defense for untold numbers of people in need. As Justice Stephen Markman of the Michigan Supreme Court recently wrote, "no criminal defense attorney was more highly regarded than Neil Fink." Neil was known for his skill, integrity and empathy. All those he represented knew that he possessed not only the finest legal mind, but also knew that he truly cared. Neil was written about in The Michigan Murders, Detroit's Powers and Personalities, Good Cop, Bad Verdict, and countless newspaper and magazine articles. He will be greatly missed by his family, his friends, and all of those he touched in the criminal justice system. SERVICES 4:00 P.M. TUESDAY AFTERNOON AT THE IRA KAUFMAN CHAPEL. 248-569-0020.
