Dennis Link Obituary

Dennis M. Link of Santa Rosa was tragically taken from us on November 8th, 2010, by an acute heart attack at the young age of 48. He is survived by his loving wife, Wendy Ward Link and father Ken Link, Sr. He will be profoundly missed by his son, Dean; his three brothers, Ken, Rob and Terry; nieces, Jessica and Nikki; nephew Greg; extended family and many friends. He now watches over us with his late brother, Marty, and mother, Marjorie. He was an entrepreneur who liked to build things from the ground up. He founded and operated D&K Home Appliance Center for 24 years. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed snow skiing, golfing, riding his Harley, yard projects and checking off his 'man list.' Friends and family are invited to join in a celebration of life on Saturday November 27th, 2010, from noon till 3:00 p.m. in their new home in Placerville, CA. For directions contact [email protected].

Dennis,
You were the kind of person who was kind, and caring to others. There are not many people like you. We looked up to you in many ways. You were an awesome friend to us, and you helped us so much. You will be greatly missed. God bless you and your family.

Gone too soon, Dennis, much too soon. You gave your strength to Wendy when she needed you and now she is using that strength to see her through this unbelievably sad time in her life. Victor and I will miss you so. Your light was so bright and the absence so empty.
