Gerry Fink, 78, a longtime Hinsdale resident, died Oct. 15, 2024, in Fredericksburg, Va., where he had moved following retirement to be closer to his family on the East Coast.
He was born in Chicago and was a graduate of Morton West High School and The University of Illinois in Champagne-Urbana, where he met his best friend and future wife of 54 years, Kathy, nee Cox.
Gerry and Kathy resided for 39 years in Hinsdale, where he served as village treasurer and president of the Hinsdale Library Board. He was a CPA based in Chicago, spending 33 years with Arthur Andersen and five years with Deloitte.
All of his family and friends will remember his prowess at trivia, his famous Christmas eggnog, his love of sports, his dry wit and Midwestern sarcasm but most of all his giving, kind-hearted soul.
He is survived by his wife, Kathy; his children, Jonathan and Danielle; his granddaughter, Kendra; and his brother, Kenneth.
A celebration of Gerry's life will be held at a future date. Interment will be private at Woodlawn Cemetery in Forest Park.
