Publish in a newspaper

Andrew W. Link, 56, of Rochelle Park, passed away on Saturday, August 23, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Born to Olga Link (née Barna) and the late Richard Link, Andrew grew up in Rochelle Park and graduated from Hackensack High School. He went on to build a long and accomplished career as a member of Local #15/253 of the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters. For more than 35 years, his exceptional skill and craftsmanship distinguished his work, which he carried out with pride and dedication.

A big New York Giants fan, Andrew enjoyed Sundays at the Meadowlands with friends and had a love of classic films, especially John Wayne westerns. Above all, Andrew treasured time with family, friends, and his beloved golden retriever, Timber, who was always by his side. He was a devoted brother to his sister, Maureen Link, and to his brother, Alan Link, and wife, Michelle. Treasured uncle of Leah (and fiancé, Ashton) and Ryan, nephew, cousin, and friend, Andrew will be forever cherished.

A lifelong parishioner of Christ Church in Hackensack, Andrew's faith was an important part of his life. His loyalty, kindness, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Visitation will be Thursday, August 28, 2025, from 4:00-8:00 p.m. at Vander Plaat Memorial Home, 113 South Farview Avenue, Paramus, NJ. A funeral service will be held Friday, August 29, at 9:15 a.m. at the funeral home, followed by a 10:00 a.m. church service at Christ Church, 251 State Street, Hackensack, NJ. Interment will follow at Maple Grove Park Cemetery, Hackensack, NJ.
