Mike "always" had a fantastic smile! One that if you knew him, you'll never forget! Rest easy my friend!

Oh my dear Betty and all of the Linko family ~ I just found out about Michael's passing yesterday (when I was talking to Cindy at Chantilly). I am so very sorry and words can not be expressed. I know that Michael was very much loved and he loved his family very much as well. He joins my brother-in-law and many others in that Heavenly adventure we will all one day be attending. Until that time, we (the Gillies Family ~ the Rudi's old neighbors who lived across the one time bridge) and everyone at Harleysville Bridal & Tuxedo send Love & Prayers to you Betty, the love of his life and all of the Linkos & Rudis & families. Always, Colleen

we are a family of four who eat our every Friday night pizza dinner in Zach's. Mike had an unforgettably friendly smile... Always smiled at our young kids and made small conversation to let us know he appreciated us coming in. We heard through the neighborhood of his passing, and we were in disbelief. We can't imagine what you are going through with such a sudden, unexpected loss. Our thought and prayers are with the family and friends of Mike. We surely will miss his smile...

What a great man! Loved seeing his smile at the Y and at Zachs. He always had a good story and something nice to say about his family. We loved his smile! The community really showed their love tonight for Mike and his family. I know the family will have many fond memories to cherish. I feel blessed to have known Mike. RIP.

My heart and prayers go out to Libby and the rest of the family. Such a huge loss to so many, and will be sadly missed. When I hear the name Mike Linko, I instantly see his smile in my mind. I've only seen him a handful of times sence we graduated school, and that the one thing about him I could never forget, is his smile. Rest in peace Mike, and fly with the angles of our past!
