Thomas Joseph Fink, (Age 74) of Deptford, NJ, passed away on March 22, 2025, after a courageous 16-month battle with brain cancer. Born on April 4, 1950, Thomas grew up in a loving family with his mother, Anne Fink, and father, Irvin Fink. He is survived by his devoted wife of 26 years, Patricia Mary Fink (nee Walsh), his stepdaughter, Jen Delaney, and his stepson, Daniel Obermeier (Erin Obermeier), brother, Irvin Fink (Anna Marie Fink). Thomas was a proud grandfather to Kayla Delaney, Emily Delaney, and Nicholas Obermeier.
Thomas had a distinguished career, dedicating 36 years to Septa and serving as a veteran of the US Army and a former Philadelphia police officer. He was a graduate of Roman Catholic High School, in Philadelphia and a passionate Philly sports fan. His commitment to helping others was evident through his volunteer work with St. Vincent DePaul and his many years as an AA sponsor. His legacy of kindness, dedication, and love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
