Paul W. Finken passed away at his home on April 8, 2019. He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Eleanor Finken, and his sister, Mary Raduenz. Paul is survived by his children Deborah Finken and John Finken; brother Mark (Shaddon) Finken; sister Colette (Ernest) Preimesberger; six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, three nieces and a nephew; many cousins and friends.

Paul was a proud member of the US Navy and US Air Force, from which he retired in 1983. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War and a lifetime member of Amery VFW Post 7929. His last employment was as a long-haul trucker, and his family will fondly remember the phone visits they had with him as he traversed the country. Paul enjoyed anything motorized, be it cycle, car, tractor, four-wheeler, or boat, having an innate gift for anything mechanical. He loved animals, and had a special place in his heart for his three cats, Cuddles, Snoopy, and Dizzy. Paul had a ready smile and an enthusiasm which will be greatly missed, and he was rarely seen without his mug of coffee.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the Amery VFW Post 7929 or the Polk County Sherriff's Department Canine Unit.

A Celebration of Life time will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2019 at the Williamson-White Funeral Home in Amery, Wisconsin. A private family interment will take place at St. Michael's Cemetery in Bayport, Minnesota
