Byron Perry Fink Jr.

BYRON PERRY FINK, JR. January 13, 1918-April 20, 2011 Byron Perry Fink, Jr.'s family and friends are celebrating his life today-and will for a long time. For everyone, from the oldsters who called him By to the youngsters who called him Great Papa, he was larger than life. He was husband of 63 years to the departed Eleanor Minckler Fink, father to three children and their spouses, grandfather to seven and assorted husbands & wives, great grandfather to eight under nine-and each one thinks they were his favorite! Quick to smile, he was a man who loved life and lived to love. His concern for other people real, he got involved wherever he saw a need. An entrepreneur before his time; he was a builder of his insurance business and active in every town he lived in (Yonkers, New York; Braintree, Massachusetts; Vero Beach, Florida). He was a passionate writer of letters to friends and editors. In Vero Beach alone he was a successful proponent for better roads and traffic lights, a leader of a multi-million dollar capital fund drive, and the visionary who influenced his church to create a memorial garden. Byron Perry Fink, Jr., was here for 93 years and 3 months. He lived his life to the fullest. A memorial celebration for friends will be conducted on April 30, 2011 at 1 pm in the Carter Family Memorial Chapel at Indian River Estates, located at 7740 Indian Oaks Drive, Vero Beach, FL. Private burial will be in the Memorial Garden at the First Presbyterian Church of Vero Beach. Arrangements are under the direction Cox-Gifford-Seawinds Funeral Home & Crematory, Vero Beach, FL.
