Harold Kenneth Fink ’38
Ken died July 9, 2001, in Parkland, Fla., after a lengthy illness.
After preparing at Horace Mann in NYC, he majored in biology at Princeton and was a member of the Triangle Club orchestra. His hobbies were piano, violin, painting, and wood carving. He received his master's at Cal-Tech, his doctorate in psychology from Cornell, and served in the Navy as a 2nd lieutenant on hospital ships.
Thereafter, Ken practiced psychology in La Jolla, NYC, and Ft. Lauderdale, where he also taught at local colleges. In 1977 Ken met and married his wife, Sue. In 1982 they moved to Hawaii, where Ken worked as head psychologist at Hawaii State Mental Hospital on Oahu before moving to Maui, where he worked at the Maui Clinic. He retired in 1986, and later, due to failing health, he and Sue moved back to Florida in July 1993.
Ken is survived by his wife; stepson Burke Fox III; stepgrandchildren Burke IV and Brandi Sue Lester; and great-stepgrandchildren Burke V, Maddie Fox, RyLee Fox, Avery Lester, and Alexandra Estrado; to all of whom the class extends its sympathy.
