Jerry Link Obituary

Memorials: Educational Employees Credit Union in memorium of Jerry Link or the American Diabetes Association.
Jerry was born Oct. 12, 1943, in Oklahoma City, Okla. Jerry was a salesman and accounts manager for Valspar. He liked to say he had the best bragging rights concerning his son, daughter and wife. He was an OU Sooners fan and an avid bass fisherman. As a bird hunting guide, Jerry and his dogs, Charlie and Snoopy, were favorites at Tierra Colinas near Cottondale. He never met a person who didn't like him. The only thing he needed to make a friend was another person. He is loved and will be missed by many, many friends and family members.
Survivors: Wife, Linda Link of Fort Worth; son, Ed Link and wife, Melissa, of Mandeville, La.; daughter, Crystal Link of Minneapolis, Minn.; brothers, John Link of Kalamazoo, Mich., Frank Link of Arcadia, Okla., and Joe Link; sister, Mary Link; mother, Ruth Link, all of Oklahoma City, Okla.; pets, Charlie, Misty, Snoopy and Tabitha; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jerry at Jennie's wedding enjoying the fried chicken!

Dear Linda, Ed, Melissa, and Crystal, We loved Jerry very much and will forever have a hole in our hearts and family. I remember how much fun we all had in the French Quarter for Ed and Melissa's wedding last year. I am sending a picture of Jerry eating fried chicken at Jennie's wedding dinner. (I'm sure he wasn't suppose to be eating fried chicken, but he enjoyed it so much!) We will forever love and miss Jerry. You all are in hearts and prayers. If you need anything, please call. Love Always, Joyce

Linda, Eddie & Crystal -
You all know what a wonderful husband and father you had in Jerry. No one has to tell you that. I don't have a memory of him that doesn't make me smile or laugh out loud! You're a wonderful family that I know will be there for each other and never let his spirit die. If you didn't love Jerry, you didn't know him. I'm happy that I did. I pray for peace in your hearts and comfort in your memories.
With Love, Stacy & Madison

Linda,
Dana and I send our heart felt condolences. Jerry was not only a good friend by a special mentor to me early in my career. I'm especially grateful that Dana, Jordan and I ran into Jerry this past fall at the Summerville Steakhouse in Summerville. It'll be a visit I'll always treasure.
Our prayers and love are with you and the kids.

Linda,
May Gods peace be with you and your family. May he carry you through and bless you with strength and love. Although I did not know your husband, I am confident that he was a wonderful person, like yourself.
If you ever need a friend to chat with, you know you can call me.
