Benjamin Walter Pink

PINK, Benjamin Walter 85, of Seminole, passed away on Memorial Day, 2010, in Morton Plant Hospital following a courageous battle with chronic illness. Ben was born in Superior, WI. Served in the U.S. Army Airforce (1943-1945), 18th Airforce England and 15th Airforce Italy as a Waist Gunner on the B24's. He graduated with a BS degree in Education, but having a big heart, he found his niche as a county social worker. After his public service, he continued to be a servant to others and volunteered his services to those in need. After retiring in 1987, he moved to Seminole and took up selling Real Estate. Ben was raised in the Episcopal Church, and remained an active lifetime member in both Superior, WI and Indian Rocks Beach.
