Todd "Wolf" Fink, 56, of Hanover Park passed away due to a long battle with cholangiocarcinoma. Todd was the beloved son to the late Arthur & Rosemary Fink. Todd was the loving and cherished husband to Betty (nee Einhorn-Moriarty) and devoted stepfather to Samantha. He is survived by siblings: Gail (Sal) Rizzo, Debbie (Merrit) Adams, and Tim (Anita) Fink. Todd was the proud uncle to Cody (Amanda), Cameron, Marykate (Nathan), Sal, Christina (Kim), and great uncle to Autumn.
At 18 years old Todd made the courageous decision to join the United States Marine Corps. He fought in Desert Storm as a Harrier Aircraft Mechanic. Todd was a distinguished member of the VFW Post in Glendale Heights, IL and he was part of the Patriot Guard for many years. He was a true patriot, Todd lived by the Marine Corps motto, Semper Fidelis- always faithful- in every part of life. He was forever faithful to his family, friends, and country. Todd proudly served in the U.S. Marines from 1988 until he was Honorably Discharged in 1992.
Todd helped build the foundation for his motorcycle club, known as UFFU. He is part of the original 12 members. He not only built a relationship with all the brothers but built a second family. Together, they held many events and supported causes like Sarah Smiles of Illinois, numerous charities to help children with cancer, etc.
Todd was a man of many interests. He loved riding, fishing, working on his motorcycle or cars, playing video games and much more. He touched everyone he came across with his kindness, wisdom and sarcastic humor. He was always helping everyone he could in any way, whether it be a helping hand, advice, etc. He made sure everyone around him felt loved and supported.
OOH RAH!!!
