## Tarihin rayuwa
An haifi Fink a ranar 8 ga Nuwamba, 1911, a Englewood, New Jersey .

A lokacin da ya yi ritaya, ya ci gaba da shirya manyan litattafai guda biyu da McGraw-Hill ya buga, Standard Handbook for Electrical Engineers  da kuma Electronics Engineers' Handbook . [1]  Ya jagoranci shirye-shiryen kimiyyar Majalisar Dinkin Duniya daga 1976 zuwa 1981.

## Gudummawa ga talabijin
Fink ya kasance majagaba a ci gaban talabijin; The New York Times ya rubuta  cewa littafinsa na 1940, Ka'idodin Injiniyan TV, "ya zama misali ga mutanen da ke aiki a ci gaban telebijin".

Ya kuma rubuta wasu littattafai guda biyu a talabijin, *Injiniyan Talabijin* da Physics of Television, kuma ya shirya ka'idojin talabijin da aiki, ka'idoji na talabijin na launi, da kuma *Littafin Injiniyan Talabijin*.

## Kyaututtuka da girmamawa
An girmama Fink saboda hidimar da ya yi a lokacin yaƙi ta hanyar Medal of Freedom (1946) da Takardar shaidar Shugaban kasa (1948). Ya zama Fellow na IRE a cikin 1947 "don nuna godiya ga goyon bayansa na manyan ka'idojin wallafe-wallafen fasaha da kuma gudummawar da ya bayar a lokacin yaƙi a fagen taimakon lantarki ga kewayawa"; an kuma zabe shi a matsayin ɗan'uwan Cibiyar Injiniyoyin Lantarki ta Amurka a cikin 1951 da kuma Kwalejin Injiniya ta Kasa a cikin 1969. A shekara ta 1972, Sojojin Amurka sun ba shi lambar yabo ta musamman ta farar hula. Ya sami lambar yabo ta IEEE Founders a shekarar 1977,  da kuma lambar yabo ta Centennial ta IEEE a shekarar 1984. An kafa lambar yabo ta IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award don girmama shi a shekara ta 1979, kuma ana ba da ita kowace shekara ga "mafi kyawun binciken, bita, ko takarda na koyarwa da aka buga a cikin IEEE Transactions, Journals, Magazines, ko a cikin Ayyukan IEEE tsakanin 1 ga Janairu da 31 ga Disamba na shekarar da ta gabata".
