Alois Albert Fink was born on May 25, 1932 at home in Leavenworth, MN to Joseph Sr. & Mary (Groebner) Fink. He served in the U.S. Army in Germany during the Korean War until his honorable discharge. Alois was united in marriage to Deloris Matter on September 23, 1959 at St. Raphael’s Catholic Church in Springfield. He was a dairy, cattle, and hog farmer most of his life.

Alois was a private man who valued his family above all else and took great pride in the lives and accomplishments of his six children. He didn’t speak often about himself, but he spoke with deep pride about his children. He had a sharp sense of humor and loved a good joke, especially one that pushed the limits just a little. Alois enjoyed the simple things: farming, talking about farm animals, tracking crop yields, and taking long drives to look at how other farmers fields were doing. Farming wasn’t just his work; it was who he was. His devotion to his wife was at the center of his life. When she was undergoing medical treatments for cancer and living away from home, he visited as often as he could, finding a ride, whenever he could. In these last months, they held hands more often than ever, a quiet, steady love that never needed words. Alois will be remembered for his quiet strength, his loyalty, his humor, and the deep love he held for his family.
