Description	:	Second eldest son of Rudolf and Anna Fink who immigrated together with them from Germany (on the German steamship Konigin Luise) to New York's Ellis Island and then onto Rusk County Wisconsin in 1903. He moved to the Pacific Northwest and to Elma probably in 1949 with brother Ted and other assorted family members when they moved out here permanently from Wisconsin with the promise of making a living working in the woods at Camp Grisdale. Though Bill and Hazel were older by then, they had a son born in 1944 who's name was also William though... Read More	Second eldest son of Rudolf and Anna Fink who immigrated together with them from Germany (on the German steamship Konigin Luise) to New York's Ellis Island and then onto Rusk County Wisconsin in 1903. He moved to the Pacific Northwest and to Elma probably in 1949 with brother Ted and other assorted family members when they moved out here permanently from Wisconsin with the promise of making a living working in the woods at Camp Grisdale. Though Bill and Hazel were older by then, they had a son born in 1944 who's name was also William though they called him "Billy" who also came to Elma from Wisconsin and passed away several years ago now. He owned and ran "Annabelle's Diner" in Satsop Washington a few miles west of Elma that's not in business any longer, having closed for good when he passed (though it's still there in an abandoned and deshelved state). He was estranged from his immediate REAL parents over alcohol and abuse allegations (by them towards him when he was growing up. There's NO DOUBT Billy Fink had a terrible time from alcohol abusing parents who drank too much and spent too much time away from him & home while he was growing up. And hopefully he was able to deal with that and accept the unchangeable past well before he passed...) and his grave location is unknown. We've been told his...step mother Annabelle Krowicki changed his name before her death (and his) making our search more difficult. Nor can we find a picture of Billy Fink. But I love solving a good family mystery. And I look forward to eventually finding Billy Fink and solving this one too... UPDATE: As of October 30, 2019 Billy Fink's details have become known through his newspaper obit that I found recently. And he's connected to his real family and parents in typical F.A.G. fashion (by me his genealogist cousin) even though he or his..."diner family" may not like and/or approve of that. But all of them are gone and I'm the one who's left here writing the family history now and this is the way it's going to be. The TRUTH regarding OUR family history, rules with me. Not some fictional feely-goody...untruths like appear in a certain newspaper obit that was written because...his "diner Mom" could do that. Truth IS LOVE. And love is telling the truth. Like I've done right here. So help me God...
