Marlyn "Pete" Linke

Pete was always my favorite among the American Legion WWII veteran fathers in Boy Scout Troop 329.

Jeannie, John, and uncle, Jim:
I send you my condolences. Pete was one of the Woodville "regulars" that I remember from my childhood years.
I wish you all the best in the coming days..

It was always a pleasure seeing Pete,most years it was only at the 4th of July but whether it was at the Legion or the 4th,those places won't be the same without Pete Linke. He and Fran will always be together now. Take care and God Bless. John & Marty DiMasso

I remember the 20-30 years he announced the fireworks donors for the 4th of july celebration. His voice echoed through Woodville on those loud speakers. Uncle Pete always had a...

Pete and Fran were residents here at Mayberry Village. We all enjoyed listening to Petes war stories, his story and joke telling on soup nights. Pete was wealth of information and you could always count on an engaging conversation with Pete. He and Fran are greatly missed by his friends and the staff of Mayberry Village
