Yahoo reached out to Finn’s rep for comment.</p><p class="mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words">Finn is survived by his wife, Donna, whom he married in 1990, and their children, Cassidy, Caitlin and Ryan. On Tuesday, Finn’s daughter Cassidy posted a tribute to her late dad on <a class="link " href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DSoQ8w0kZ24/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1" data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Instagram;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas">Instagram</a>, which included several throwback photos.</p><p class="mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words">“Dad… you were and are a role model and an inspiration to everyone you met. I tried to think of a word to describe you, but no word could ever do it justice. You are Pat Finn,” Cassidy wrote. “The least shocking thing was hearing the nurses say they have never seen so many people show up at a hospital for someone. That was my dad.”</p><p class="mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words">Cassidy said that her life was forever changed because of her father. “He taught me to be funny, positive, humble, to listen, to always try my best, to love, and to surround myself with the best people. But most importantly—you taught me kindness,” she wrote. “I’ve never met a single person who had a bad thing to say about my dad. I feel like the luckiest person in the world that I got to call you my dad.”</p><figure class="relative mb-4"><div class="relative"><img alt="George Wendt and Pat Finn" loading="lazy" width="960" height="611" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" class="rounded-lg" style="color:transparent" src="https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/qemsF4yJaal2rgdQnS2ZfA--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYxMTtjZj13ZWJw/https://d29szjachogqwa.cloudfront.net/images/user-uploaded/tsdgewe_ec001.jpg"><button aria-label="View larger image" class="group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent" data-ylk="elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;"><span class="absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none"><svg viewbox="0 0 22 22" aria-hidden="true" class="size-4 lg:size-6" width="22" height="22"><path d="M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z"></path></svg></span></button><dialog aria-label="Modal Dialog" aria-modal="true" class="fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden"></dialog></div><figcaption class="relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5"><div style="max-height:none;overflow:visible">George Wendt and Pat Finn in "The George Wendt Show" from 1995.
