October 07, 2013

Charles F. Link, Jr., passed away on Monday, October 07, 2013, at his home surrounded by his family. Born in Patton, PA, he was the son of the late Gertrude (Karlheim) Link and Charles F. Link, Sr. Charles was the loving husband of Joyce P. Link with whom he celebrated 42 years of marriage.

Charles retired after 31 years as a watchmaker for Hamilton Watch Company. He liked to do “handy man” work, refinishing furniture, gardening and canning. Charles was a man of few words but a wonderful listener. He had a great love for his family because they were his life.

Graham, wife of Wesley, of Lancaster, PA, and Charles F. Link, III, husband of Nicole, of New Providence, PA; four grandchildren: Ashley, Abryanna, Charles IV, and Gabriella; and two sisters: Viola Luckring and Joann Wimble, both of Delaware.

Charles was preceded in death by a son, Ryan P. Link, and his siblings: Rita Malkin, Ethel Black, Alvin (“Bud”) Link, Harold Link, Karl Link, and Wilmina Link.

The family would like to give special thanks to Hospice & Community Care, especially Jackie, for their warm and caring services to Charles.
