IN MEMORIAM: MARVIN FINK
Marvin Fink, who worked his way up through Allied Metal Co. to eventually own and run the Chicago-based secondary aluminum producer, has died at age 77.
Marvin, the son-in-law of Allied Metal Co. founder Irving Dubofsky, began his career with the company in 1957. He gained increasing responsibilities at the firm before serving as its president into the late 1990s. In this decade, Marvin’s son David has served as president, while Marvin served as chairman.
An obituary in the Chicago Tribune notes that in addition to the family metals business he helped build, Marvin was also passionate about baseball, playing the game as a younger man and eventually owning a share of the Chicago White Sox.
Joel Fink, another of Marvin’s sons who serves as a vice president at Allied Metal Co., told the Tribune that the White Sox World Series victory in the fall of 2005 was something Marvin had waited for "his whole life."
Marvin is survived by his wife Roberta, sons David and Joel, daughter Beth Gilford and seven grandchildren.
